hi,
everybody seems to be keen on having VPC 5 run as slow as possible by installing Win2000 or XP ... at work i run Win95 on VPC4, as it's the other software that i need for office compatibility, not necessarily a bloated OS, and seeing as Win95 gobbles up much less RAM then all the more is there for PC applications. moving up from VPC3 to 4 was definately a positive step in terms of effective processing power and (specific) video performance. however, because of these speed issues i'm still comtemplating the move from VPC4 to 5 (presently the only hurdle stopping me using X at work). is any body running VPC5 with Win95 and can comment on application issues when comparing 9 to X? the main problem with my combination (under 9 of course) seems to be video performance and i/o rather than poor raw processing power, i.e. the PC lacks a snappy feel, and i'm rather dreading this being even more so under X ... for what it's worth: 1). i've already scoured the connectix site for performance tips, and so too sites giving tips for Win95 (e.g. i run with 320mb given to the PC OS and with it's VM off ... any comments?). 2). PC applications in constant use are: office 2000 pro (video slow), navision (fine), labview 6i (video real slow otherwise surprisingly good), origin 6 (video slow) ... you get the picture, right?!? thanx for any help. greg -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
