 Emulating a mac

Hi,
Seeing as millions of IT doods seem to hide out @ Toymods I thought I'd seek some advice..
My girfriend wants to run a mac-only program for uni on our pc. It's a neuroanatomy atlas (from 1995) which requires system 6.0.5 or higher & 4mb RAM.
From what I can gather, i can either buy a 2nd hand mac, or do this emulation thingo.
I'd rather emulate, so this means I need emulation software, a cd of system 6.0.5 or better, & access to a Mac "ROM BIOS". Ya?
The last bit is what confuses me a bit.
I have to use a 'ROM dumping utility' to copy the bios from an existing mac, right? (Or use the actual rom itself, but that sounds like it costs money, so fook dat)
Should I just get onto the newest mac I can get my hands on for this bios thing? That is, if i obtain a copy of OSwhatever & copy a recent bios to run it with, will it be happy to run this fairly ancient program which was designed for system 6?
Oh, and finally, the site that flogs Softmac seems reasonable, would anyone suggest better software (free of course!) to do this?
Thanks heaps to anyone who a) read all that and/or b) can tell me if i've got this straight.
Nick
