Martin, Yes indeed it is a 266. I'm doing all my file transfers across my network which I manage from the iMAC... It's do much easier for me than the using the pc to manage and transfer files. As such, I don't really need Virtual PC except for those damn exe files. At around 100.00, Virtual PC seems like an expensive translator, and apple specs say a min of 500MHz is required... I know and have disregarded speed requirement to run OSX exclusively, but I do have to put up with the occasional hang... my friends experience even more hangs than me when running VirtualPC so my search continues. > > > > Eurogarth wrote: > >>> >> >> just to keep it straight, the pc's in a room next to the dungeon!
