A number of mac users have been successful using VRC on macs by installing Windows XP and Parallels on their mac (effectively running it in PC mode for the program). VRC will NOT run in the mac's native OS.

I use a MacBook Pro with Boot Camp and Vista Ultimate. Easiest way is to buy the Windows OS, follow the instruction in Mac OS X, and install Windows. Then insert the Mac OS X CD in Windows to install the Boot Camp drivers. All done within 15 minutes.

You could always install boot camp, then run parallels/vmware off of the boot camp partition, or just run parallels/vmware to use VRC

Please don't hijack this thread into a debate on whether or not a PC is better than a MAC or tell a person to buy a PC. The question was "Can I use VRC on a Mac?" The answer is "Yes" and several people provided details on how to do it. As a lawyer would say "asked and answered"...
