Doom3 won't play well on VirtualPC, or won't play at all?
The OS X version comes out in two months.

I don't know, somone else claims to have seen it up and running on a Mac I have not.I can tell you this though the demo version doesn't run all that great on my Dell this game eats system resources like nothing I've ever seen.I won't buy the full version until I have a Gig of RAM.

There really isn't much of a practical difference. If Doom3 ran on VirtualPC it would be about the same as looking at screenshots from a Doom3 review online. Whether or not it would crash VirtualPC is more of academic concern, not only would it not be playable the screen probably wouldn't even appear to change.
But since we are on the subject I was under the impression that VirtualPC either didn't implement 3d acceleration, or at least that the 3d acceleration was very basic. I haven't used it in a good 3 years so I'm not positive. But I would expect that it would refuse to load because of missing 3d hardware.
