Mac Forum / Applications / Virtual PC / June 2004V6 on TiBook - requirements?
Hope this does not sound stupid, but I am thinking of upgrading from 4 to Version 6 on my 400mhz G4 Titanium. I read that the system requirements are 500 G3 or G4. The question is this: does this mean at least 500 G3 or any G4, or must I have a 500mhz CPU anyway? Also, assuming it will work on my box, what kind of performance should I expect? V4 has worked OK when I boot into OS9. I use it to run some psychological apps that doe not come in Mac versions - and the speed has been just fine. However, it would be nice to operate under OSX so I can use those apps, and have access to Windows98 to run some client software for my office's network.

I had 1GB and kept all other OSX applications closed when running VPC. Also, the Windows OS has a major speed impact, Win2000 or 95 runs fastest, 98 and XP will run slower, but still usable. > > Hope this does not sound stupid, but I am thinking of upgrading from 4 > > to Version 6 on my 400mhz G4 Titanium.

Would I just be able to get the VPC 6 standalone and copy over my Windows 98 SE "disk"? Maybe. There is no upgrade path from 4 to 6. It may be possible to get it working under 6, but it will probably require some work. >> > Hope this does not sound stupid, but I am thinking of upgrading from 4 >> > to Version 6 on my 400mhz G4 Titanium.
