Yes, kinda, I am running on an iMac, but it’s a 2019 intel chip, with 40 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, and 6 CPUs. I am using VMWare and I created a Windows 10 VM and gave it 24 GB of RAM, 500 GB HDD and 3 CPUs.

Thanks for the replies.

I am considering purchasing a desktop computer with an AMD 5900 processor but the current cost for a fast video card makes the M1 and the future M1 Mac upgraded processor appear a good option, as long as it can run the majority of my Matrix Games.

Apple appear to have missed a big opportunity with the exorbitant cost of fast video cards, if they had developed a Bootcamp replacement to run games under Windows 10 and 11 on a Mac.
