[QUOTE="RoadDog, post: 11653"] Hello all, Let me first say that this is my first mac. I finally made the switch when MS released 3 critical updates in a couple of days. Beside the normal crashes during my work. I bought a G4 1.25 added 1gig of ram. I made the switch for my business but ran into a problem with an incompatability issue on my USPS shipping software so I had to buy the virtual PC to overcome this. The problem is Virtual PC is terribly slow. To the point I can't get any work done. (I dedicated 512 megs of ram to Virtual PC) I've got almost 3k invested and can't get any work done. Is there a way to speed up Virtual PC? any tweaks? I killed all startup programs and it helped a bit but still hangs for several minutes sometimes. Ironic that I wanted to get away from MS and I'm still stuck with Gates bloated OS. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Besides that I love the Mac. :D best regards, RoadDog [/QUOTE]
