    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.

    Equivalent in performance - maybe, but in terms of architecture - not.

    jazzbo - if you want to run vmware and enjoy the experience, you need a fairly new and fast processor (or 2 or 4) in the host machine. A nice large chunk of memory would be good as well.
