    TouchCAD is available as a real Mac program, not only running Windows on Mac hardware. It runs natively on both PowerPC and Intel Macs, as well as on Windows. www.touchcad.com

    (Sorry Claes, running TouchCad isn't going to help this guy with MaxSea.)

    The guys at MaxSea in France officially say that they have not fully tested it on an Intel Mac via Bootcamp or Parallels, but admit that they see no reason why it wouldn't work, especially as so many other programs are working without glitches by this method.

    Their caveat is to ensure the machine has enough RAM and other resources to run both systems and all the software.

    I doubt you'll get better information. If what Crag said is right (and he usually is), the developers haven't tested it on the Intel-based Mac. Therefore there is no official benchmark or guarantee that it will work on this system. But there's no reason to suspect trouble either.
