[QUOTE="lzasitko, post: 31776"] [b]virtual PC v6[/b] Virtual PC v6 is not bad on a powerbook. I have it running on my 12" 1.33ghz 768 meg of ram and have win2000 on it so I can use Autocad. I tried the 1ghz PowerBook for 4 days and decided that I wanted the 1.33ghz with the superdrive. In some rough times I found that it is not that much slower then my Athalon 1800 desktop with 1gig of ram and much faster than on my old toshiba portable (P1-266). The change to the 1.33 ghz was even better, and could load a large drawing (a drawing of the site and elevations of the sydney opera house) and have it finished and redrawn where the older 1ghz is still drawing the graphics on the screen. In reading they say that v6 is around 25% faster then previous versions and with win2000 is very usable. I friend has a 900mhz iBook with VPC and WinXP and win98se installed and 98 is fine but XP is to slow to be usable. [/QUOTE]
