Adding the ram will of course help, as will avoiding Windows XP. Windows 2000 runs well enough, and since you have 50% more speed than I do, it should be better still.
I devoted 384MB of physical RAM to VPC and am satisfied with the results. Andrew -----Original Message----- From: G-Books [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Timothy J. Luoma Sent: Thursday, May 20, 2004 11:44 AM To: G-Books Subject: Re: ...Panther + MS Virtual PC v6.1 I was really disappointed to see that VPC 7 is being delayed until the 2nd half of 2004... I can only imagine that the folks with G5s who need VPC are even more frustrated. At this point the only thing I really need to work under Windows is ACT! and I would like to be able to view my web pages in IE for Windows w/o having to boot my Windows machine. I was wondering whether Win98 vs Win2000 vs WinXP would make a significant difference. I'm on a PB 15"/1.5Ghz with 512mb ram.... perhaps this would be a good time to add another 512mb?
