Just wondering if anybody runs VPC on an eMac 800? How does it run, specifically in Win 2000 Pro.

I'm thinking the 100MHz bus could really slow it down, esspecially under OS X, but I'm not sure so I want to hear your experiences.

Thanks!

I occasionally use the XP home version, for light duty stuff (MSN chat room), Solitaire , etc., and it's not very speedy, but it seems to be reliable. I'm running it on an iMac 800, but there isn't a noticeable difference between that and an eMac.
Why is there always money for war, but none for education?

I've found Windows NT 4 Workstation to run surprisingly well under VPC emulation. If possible, try it and see what you think; I was quite surprised
