Hello, my experiences with Virtual PC and Windows 95 are as follows:
on a Duo 2300 with 20MB RAM: Impossible on a Performa 5400 with a 603e @160 MHz and 56MB RAM: Works well, as if it where an Intel '486. It works well with PsiWin, the software I need to connect to my Psion. Some infotainment CD-Roms work also. But it is too slow for any bigger programm like Outlook, Word etc. on a PowerMac 5500 with 603e @275 MHz and 48MB RAM: same as with the Performa, but more RAM is needed. on a G4 cube with about 300MB RAM: Quite fast but not very stable. The cube itself seems not to be very stable, indeed. As far as I can see, for basic applications a system with 603 processor @ about 200MHz could be enough. But a G3 is needed for real work. To run Virtual PC smoothly the application needs at least 100MB of RAM and it also uses about 500 MB on your hard disc. Important: As far as I know only Windows 95 Version B is capable of handling USB. And: Windows 98 needs more than twice the ressources as Win95 does. I also tried Virtual PC on my Duo together with a copy of Windows 3.11 but it didn't work at all. The mouse moved very strangely and it was impossible to navigate with it. Does anyone know a cure for that? Maybe I can download an extra driver?
