If they made SC2 for PPC then it would work. The reason it wouldn't work now is because of emulation. Emulating a PC playing a game sucks. I don't think you can even run a game on a Virtual PC on a PC (WinXP running WinXP using Parallels).

A PC has a hard time emulating another PC while running games.

BUT it could be done. SC2 doesn't use 3D models or anything. They are 2D sprites. I mean come on... Quake 1, 2, and 3 run on an Axim (Q3 barely). But still, if they wanted too they could make it for PPC.

I've seen more graphically intense games being ran on a PPC. Still we DO have graphic accelerators which those old PC's did not.
