[X4U] Run FCP PPC on Intel Mac using Rosetta?

[Ken Johnson]

Yes, you can run Windows and Windows software on your PPC Mac.  You  
need an emulator called "Virtual PC" from Microsoft.  I used it before  
I switched to Intel Macs.  A little slow, but it works.  Pay attention  
to the OS limiations before purchasing, though.
