Re: Looking for feedback on Virtual PC with Macs > G3-450

[aawillems]

Yes, a faster Mac will make a difference. I've used Virtual PC on many 
different Macs. The rule of thumb has been it will run at half or a 
third of the speed of Mac. For example, I have an 867MHz PB G4. Virtual 
PC runs at about 450MHz. I hear Microsoft is coming out with a new 
version of Virtual PC later this summer. Hopefully, it will be much 
improved.

I'm looking for feedback from anyone who has used Virtual PC 6 with a
Mac that's faster than mine (B&W G3-450, 768mb memory). I tried using
it for a while, running Windows 2000 Professional. It worked OK, but
was fairly slow. I set up a P2-350 PC with 384mb memory, and it is much
faster. I'm wondering if a faster Mac will make much difference.
I really would like to use the Mac exclusively, but I do need to get
work done. The primary use for Virtual PC is to run AutoCAD 2000.
