Would having a Mac with Virtual PC running on it be a lot slower than using an IBM PC, as this would allow me to have the best of both worlds...??? _______________________ Manpreet Singh preeta@beer.com

It depends on which Mac you are running on. I have it on my 266 iMac and it's pretty good running Win95/Novell netware.

I also use an iMac 266, and Virtual PC works fairly well on most brand name (read that as M$oft) office-type software. However, I have found the speed reduction on some games that I play is only equal to about a 486-66, and the sounds are NOWHERE near the same. I use MSDOS a lot, and there is simply no substitute for a bonafide PC for the applications and games I have. Yet, the software and games written for iMac just runs rings around the PC, and never had a hangup.

I have a 23 Mhz IMac running 92 Meg RAM and VPC running under Windows 98.

No, he bought a "special" iMac from "Sybil", (you know, the polynomous poster from Melbourne). It was a great deal: 2 days warranty and he was ASKING ONLY $2000 + COD.......:) In article <928686202.862699@master.key.net.au>, "M Singh" <preeta@beer.com> wrote: > Do you mean 233 of 23 MHz > > > Chris Newman wrote in message <375A1923.B1F7A36E@dynamite.com.au>... > >I have a 23 Mhz IMac running 92 Meg RAM and VPC running under Windows 98.

How do you calculate this? I ran WinBench on my VPC (64M memory
partition) and it only gave about a 70HMz result. I'm only running a
(now very) ancient G3/266 desktop but it seems a lot lower than your
result.
Cheers

Remember, if you quit the finder after running VPC (use an applescript) you will get heaps better performance for applications that you need performance. -- Dr I.
