I'm on a powerbook g4 titanium 1Ghz and 512MB RAM and have used both virtual PC 6.x and 7.x running win2k to play online. It works ok, although I find that I can't really try to do much other than run the VPC. Even then, I don't like the stuttering performance in VPC for the 3x miniview tables I play at UB. It is acceptable, but I won't recommend it.

I have a crappier old gateway laptop that I just use for poker now, and I would highly recommend that route if possible. If you want to run Poker Tracker while playing, which I also suggest, VPC just doesn't quite cut it, even w/ 1GB+ of RAM. I'm even thinking about getting a tablet PC so I can really get into the zone when playing online.
