Memory Issue

[h***@officeformac.com]

Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
Processor: Power PC

I am using Virtual PC 7.0.3 on a Mac G4 with 1 GB SDRAM and Dual 1 GHz processors. The only program I run on the Virtual side is my business Quickbooks Pro. I just recieved the new 2010 Quickbooks Pro edition and as I was installing it there was a message saying QB Pro needs a minimum of 500 mb memory and I have only 255 mb. I tried everything I know of but still won't load. Any help out there..
Thanks,

You may well be hosed here. I have the same machine with a max of 1.5GB
of RAM. From the Virtual Machine settings, there's a PC memory
parameter where you can set the total RAM and VRAM. The most I can set
my virtual machine to is 512MB.

If that's enough for to install QB Pro, great. Otherwise, you're
probably going to have to run this from an Intel Mac with Parallels or
Fusion rather than your PPC.
