Hi All, any thoughts, ideas, DIRECT EXPERIENCE with MS Virtual PC 6.1 and Panther 10.3.3 ? I am using a Pismo/400, 640MB RAM, lots of fast HD, and Panther 10.3.3. PLEASE no rants about why, or M$, or the Dark Side. This is a business decision and I only want to use on laptop, so only real experience please. Thanks for your thought, Jim.
I use it running W98 on a TiBook 500 with 1GB RAM. It's a little slow, but if you are only using it to accomplish a single function, then it may be acceptable. I have one program that requires a PC so I can live with it, but of course I'd like a faster PowerBook to help out. If you have to do everything in VPC you might be disappointed in the speed aspect. I recommend assigning as much real RAM to VPC as you can....since you have 640 I'd say give VPC at least 256 or maybe even 320. BTW, using MSIE in the virtual machine is painfully slow, and Mozilla and Firefox crashed it every time so I removed them.
