Even though it's not suppose to work, VPC 7 is working on the Pismo, it
just runs slow.

Would VPC 6 run faster on a 500MHZ machine than VPC7?
Would windows 2000 also run faster than Windows XP PRo?

1) Probably, and 2) Definitely not :-)

Windows XP is faster (depending on what you are doing, MUCH faster) than
Windows 2000. VPC 6 was designed for a slower machine.

For real speed, boot back to OS 9 and run VPC 6 there: that will run a LOT
faster.

Cheers
