I've been running VPC since version 3 (and softwindows before that) and version 6 is pretty good. I'm running it on a G4 Cube 500 and it's useable with Win98. I plan to upgrade to 1gHz, so that'll sure help. I plan to try it on the 'book again soon. It really uses the L2 cache pretty heavily. It ran OK on my Pismo/G4, but is much slower on a TiBook 550, with the same ram. I plan to test on a 667 and an 800 next week. :-)
