    so i see this video on you tube with this guy booting xp SP2 on a mac with out using vpc and vista he says that you have to modify the boot camp files so that they can be recgonized and able to install on a ppc mac but i have not clue on how to do it i have a Power Mac g4 MDD single 1.25ghz with 1.25gigs of ram so i should be able to install it if somone figures it out and here is the link to the video on you tube http://youtube.com/watch?v=aXuPadYFb30

    i dont know, that seems impossible. i did read however that bootcamp is UB but it is still having to emulate and even on my duel 2.0 G5 with 1GB ram VPC sees it as 500mhz so it would still be slow. i did read what was said on youtube and there is NO PPC Windows build that i know of.

    UB: Universal Binary, it will work on both PowerPC Macs and Intel Macs
