Well it runs MS Paint ok

I can’t say much more, I literaly just finshed the install.

Stuff like opening the Control Panel seems slow, but I think that is slow on regular Intel boxes….?

My specs:

G5 1.8 SP
2GB RAM
160 & 120 SATA drives
FX5200
VPC 7.0

I allocated 512MB of RAM and 16MB VRAM to Windows - seems to be the max allowed….

I will play more tomorrow and let you know.

(By the way, I was kinda expecting everyone to just reel back in horror )

Ditto

My PC is actually of a pretty decent speed. But then again I always found VPC to be fast-ish for what I needed it for. Windows 2000 is far far faster in VPC though.

You’re definitely not going to be able to run any games on it.

It runs older games quite decently, but I don’t know anyone who uses VPC for games seeing as it doesnt have hardware support.

I had many bad experiences with VPC 4 a long time ago, so I may be wrong, but I was never able to get even old games to run. Didn’t really matter, I wasn’t the one who payed for VPC.

I don’t like the sound of this ‘activation’ - I guess a ‘borrowed’ copy will ring bells at MS, so I’ll balete at 30 days….
