'ello, I wonder if anyone could shed any light on an issue I've been having with bochs. I am trying to negate the need for my x86 (Athlon) desktop by installing Windows 2000 on my PowerBook5,4.
The problem is that it is mind-bogglingly slow. It took 10 hours to install Windows and takes about 5 minutes to boot up. I realise that I'm not going to get native speed but I would have thought that a 1.5Gz G4 would at least equal the performance of my ageing 1.33GHz Athlon. The Athlon is able to run Windows 2000 in bochs at a usable speed. I am giving bochs 256M of RAM so I don't think memory starvation is the problem. Also, I have got IPS set to 10M in .bochsrc. Not sure if this is correct for my processor, as it only gives benchmarks in Pentium/Athlon terms in the config file. Do you think that if I recompiled bochs for my specific CPU I would see a sufficient increase in performance? (I'm planning to start using apt-build at some point so this would be incentive to learn...) Many thanks in advance for any info you might have. I am waiting for the application I need to use (the QuArK map editor) to be ported to Linux but until then I need access to a win32 version :-(. bye just now, -- Matthew T.
