If I remember correctly it didn't have the biendian capability of the G4 so Virtual PC wouldn't run.

Virtual PC for Mac did get an update to run on the G5.

Yeah, but it had some performance issues. The 970 was such a bummer. I read the book The Race for a New Game Machine, and the crap show around Apple, the 970, and especially the Cell was just so infuriating.
