Hardware Overview: Machine Name: iBook G4 Machine Model: PowerBook6,7 CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.5) Number Of CPUs: 1 CPU Speed: 1.42 GHz L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB Memory: 1 GB Bus Speed: 142 MHz Boot ROM Version: 4.9.3f0 does it not run on these specs? I'm just new to mac so any help woould be much appreciated. regards
You need a minimum of a Core Duo processor and OSX 10.4.9. The quick answer is according the minimum system specs you supplied your system is not supported. http://www.parallels.com/files/upload/Parallels_Desktop_for_Mac_Datasheet.pdf
Parallels is virtualization software, and not emulation software. You are using a PowerPC chip, which has a VERY different architecture than an Intel chip. Repeat after me, Parallels will not run on PowerPC unless a new program is made...
