taratata Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 I've used version 3 on a macintosh (quite a long time ago) when it was still maintained by Connectix, and I think it's quite a good software (never had any compatibility problems) I don't know what it's worth on windows though...

Alpha Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 This is one reason why I wish we had a PC Emulation section.I've personally tried it and it's a great soft. However your going to need a lot of ram and there's another software just like it and much better called VMWARE. It runs pretty much full speed! You can even ask Solidius, one of our mods who runs Linux on it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elazul Yagami Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 dual boot shouldn't really be a problem anymore. i dunno why you'd want to use an os inside an os. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenji_no_Ichi Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 You can use VMWare too. It runs like VirtualPC. I'm currently using VMWare to run Linux under XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
