Re: VPC 6 on a Pismo/400

[Hal]

It really depends what guest OS you try to use. I can tell you that it 
won't run anything above Windows 98 well on that machine, but it will 
run. I ran VPC 5 and 6 on a 500mHz Pismo, and the performance was slow 
but acceptable emulating Win98. Running Windows 2000 was painfully 
slow. Completely unuseable. Interestingly enough, VPC with Win98 ran 
better on my 500mHz Pismo than on a 600mHz iBook. The cache makes a big 
difference.

Has anyone had success running Virtual PC 6 on a Pismo? Microsoft says 
a minimum rating of 500 MHz is necessary, and that upgrades are not 
supported, but my Pismo is only a 400 MHz and I need to run some PC 
programs.

I'm using Panther, which I really like, but Thoth 1.7.1 and Reunion 
8.04 now have some stability problems. While infrequent enough to be 
only mildly annoying has anyone else had any problem with these 
programs after upgrading.
