Unfortunately VPC is rather processor-intensive. I have a G3 Powerbook
266 and Windows 98 runs pretty dern slow. However it is liveable and I
have also ran VPC on my Performa 6400/200 at about 486 speeds. Good luck!

| (...) What type of Mac do you have? I hope that VPC isn't too processor-intensive or anything, because I'm running on an older PowerBase 240. Thanks a lot for the help, though! I hope to install VPC either today or tomorrow. Sonny (25 years ago, 9-May-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
