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 (26 years ago, 9-May-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
