vmware isn't that much, $50
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.vmware.com//vmwarestore/fusion-for-mac">http://www.vmware.com//vmwarestore/fusion-for-mac</a>) and you can
access shared directories on your mac from within it. and you don't
have to reboot to use all your mac apps which is handy when your
email, office suite, web browsers, and everything else except equest
is mac.<br>

Cheapest way I have found is to use a bootcamp partition to run
Windows XP 32-bit. XP Pro is my favorite windows flavor, but
Windows 7 (x86) will work fine also to run eQuest.

<div>If you have some cash, VMWare Fusion works great, better
and faster than the other VM programs I've tried. It can
even run your existing bootcamp partition without a reboot.
using 32-bit OS seems to play better with eQuest. </div>
