Hi all,
As anyone tried installing windows 2000 on VPC7?
If so how was the performance?
Best regards,

Hi Drone,
Compared with running Win98 how does it go.
The only requirement I have Is to run the RDP 5.2 client to test a remote
connection. I found that 98 is also able to use it getting the exec from a
windows 2000 install.

It doesn't really work any better than XP tbh.
I've run both a thousand times on different G4s (and G3s), as well as actual PCs. Windows 2000 is literally XP minus some BS and eyecandy. After SP4, and anything useful installed it doesn't run much better than XP "tuned" to the same settings. Most people just put XP's theme to classic mode and assume they're good.I totally disagree on this - the only chance you have with XP is MicroXP and then it's painfully slow, 2000 however isnt:

Nope. 2003 won't run on a 486, neither will XP. But 2000 will. Just pulling your leg ?2003 will run on anything.
You'll have to install the "Additions".Does anyone know a way to add wide display modes?
Nope . the network-switch really sucks and even if I once got it working, I don't know why and how that did ever happkenAs anyone been able to use the network switch with the wireless network?
You should try Windows 7. It's beyond unusable.I've barely gotten XP running in it once before. It was pretty much unuseable.
95 is significantly faster than 98, to the point of actually being quite nice in VPC. 3.1 is even faster but... yeah. NT4 is also nice and fast but takes ages to boot up.98 is faster but 2000 is better.
What problems are you facing? And there is an RDP v5.1/v5.2 client for Win95/98/ME/NT4/2000. It's on the XP (v5.1) or Server 2003 (v5.2) installation disc at \Support\Tools\MSRDPCLI.EXE. There's even an RDP v5.1 client for DOS. ?While Win98SE is a nightmare on intelMacs/Fusion, it's really snappy on PPC/VPC7. But it lacks an RDP-Client.

Is there a way to create a emulated PC machine with an onboard memory in excess of 512MB?
Interesting - how is less than 512mb better?I never even got best results using all that memory - somewhere around 384 seemed to be best, I think @eyoungren found that to be true also?

Oh, sorry, I should have done more research on RDP versions and their compatibility - instead I just searched my basic VPC7/Win98SE-installation for any RDP-client. Good to know, where to look at!What problems are you facing? And there is an RDP v5.1/v5.2 client for Win95/98/ME/NT4/2000.

Hi bobesch,
To get the virtual switch functioning I had to copy the binaries from the 7.0.2 version to
/Library/Extensions/VirtualPCNetworking1040.kext/Content/Macos ( both files ) and
then load the kext by hand:
sudo kextutil /Library/Extensions/VirtualPCNetworking1040.kext
After this it works if you select in VPC preferences the virtual swith to use the built-in instead of
default ( this users the wired interface ).
