All in all, if you want to see what Mac OS X is likethis emulator is for you, otherwise a Mac mini ($500) may be a better choice. Network emulation (as demonstrated by the screenshot) is supported (albeit a bit tricky to get running)but no sound emulation or support for other exotic hardware. That's fast enough to try Mac OS, but don'tthink about running something like Final Cut Pro (professional video editing software) on it. So with a Pentium IV 2.4 Ghz, the emulated G3 CPUinside PearPC will feel like it's running at 240 Mhz. The development team themself admit the emulatorruns about 15 times slower than the host PC. Please don't expect it to run extremely smooth. Apart from being able to emulate various Unix OS for PowerPC, PearPC can also emulate Apple Mac OS X even up to the latest version (v10.4, aka Tiger). This is the same CPU used in olderApple hardware such as the first model iMac. PearPC emulates a PowerPC like CPU similar to an G3.
