Virtual PC

I have a Mac and I recently purchased Virtual PC so I can run certain software I need for classes. I was wondering, would I be able to play PC games using this software?

Looks like it, except for one thing. I got 6.0, so maybe there's an improvement?

Virtual PC only emulates a very basic hardware set and does not support 3d acceleration, so any modern game that requires a 3d card will not run. The same is true of the upcoming windows release of virtual pc.
