I have been running VPC 6 on my Powerbook G4, (1.67mhz, 1gb RAM, running Tiger:10.4.5), and recently upgraded to VPC 7.
I use VPC to access various sites that are not available on Mac.
One of my favorites is partypoker.com
I had no problems running this program on VPC 6.
Now since I installed VPC 7, partypoker runs incredibly slow.
The mouse does not move in realtime as I track around.
It is basically unusable.
To test, I also set up another virtual machin running VPC 6, and now have the same problem as with VPC 7
The virtual RAM allocated to the PCs is maxed out at 512mb
Is there anything I can do?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Also, is there any conflict to having two versions of VPC on the computer at the same time?

Well, you could always look for other sites so that you don't need a Windows EXE file, like http://www3.pokerroom.com/main/190/

:-)
