Virtual PC 6.0 on BigAl

[John B. Crane]

Greetings All,

Apologies for I'm certain this has been addressed already, but I'm 
considering VPC 6 for BigAll (1Gig RAM).
Has anyone purchased, installed and used this product recently on BigAl 
and if so, what grade would you give its performance? My last exposure 
to VPC was way back in v2 under OS9 (300MHz G3) and performance was 
dreadful. Realizing this is not geared toward high-end performance but 
some base level of functionality, is it "usably fast" for simple chores 
like Office work, or web surfing, or the occasional 3D model 
translation under something like Deep Exploration? any real 3D/graphics 
work is of course done in native OSX or Intel env.

As I understand it, there are no upgrades from v2 to v6, but they 
recommend purchasing VPC6/DOS and using your own license of XP or what 
have you, providing a more reasonable path.

Any feedback is welcomed. Will probably purchase but am trying to keep 
expectations low ;-).

Best Regards,
