Buying an old Pentium won't help much if your on the road, on a 333 G3 128 meg Ram Vir-PC runs at between 200-233 (PC Speed). Found that out when I was have a bit of fun going for a Win ME upgrade on a Vir-PC win 98 program. Fail cause speed was to slow. Worked very well on a G4 tower with 512 Meg of ram. Upgraded very nicely to Win ME from 98 and runs a lot better. Bit more speed than 98.
