Yeah, PearPC. Unfortunately, it's pretty slow (about 15:1 or so), which is kinda bad given all the neat eye candy in OS X, and hasn't seen much development since one of the head dev's got killed. (RIP)

It's still a neat program, though. The config file can be picky sometimes, so I can send you mine if you can't get it working.

Um...well, networking is pretty hard, at least with Windows. I think pearpc.net has a guide on how to get that working.

Well, I ran it on a Pentium 4 2.8, and while it was usable, the lag was more than noticable.
