Iv been looking at Virtual Machine Software

vmware is virtual machine while virtual pc is emulation.

After downloading,I read the processors that are NOT supported include the 2 i have , K6-2 (450mz)running wins 2000 pro and a VIA C3 running XP

,the only P2 i have is only 233mz so wont run it either!

same with vmware, according to site specs
http://www.vmware.com/

I thought Pentium II and k6-2 were equivalent.

I thought Pentium II and k6-2 were equivalent.

Equivalent, not equal....for most applications.

There are a few differences beteween them that make some applications impossible to run on the K6.

In many ways the K6 is the red-headed stepchiled of the processor world, it came out at a tiem when Intel was changing thingsand AMD didn't want to play, they thought theirs was better but software never did...
