Apart from being about ten times faster, no :-)
AIUI even a 266Mhz G3 will not emalate as fast as a 166Mhz Pentium
althouh it should be pretty close, Macworld did a comparison of Virtual
PC, Softwindows and 2 PC cards, the review is available at
www.macworld.co.uk (although you need to register 1st I think) so if you
are seriously considering it then take a look, I think I'll probably be
ordering the card ina  few days so if you want to double up and sut the
costs a bit, give me a mail.
