Hello, while I'm looking for appropriate ways running windows-applications on my debian-powered laptop (Pentium M, 1,7GHZ) I now installed VBox. I'm running Etch with kernel 2.6.18-3, ACPI / centrino-speedstepping.
For minimizing the overhead of the system I tried installing Windows 98. The installation was working and so far successful. But the performance was very poor: the installation took more than two hours, and if I click the Win98 Explorer it needs more than a minute to open. I have set the cpu-clock to maximum to achieve these results. I did it before with Qemu, what was running much faster. If the performance is significant better with other / newer windows-OS, I might switch, though it will need much more disk-space. The applications I like to use don't require more than Win98 for running. thanx for helping / GW _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
