Hi guys, my next project is a restoration, and I was thinking of using restoration manager
It says it runs OK on a Pentium II 350Mhz - but I've got a Celeron 500 Mhz in the loft, not being used since I switched to Mac. Is my machine
good enough, or should I get a second hand better one??
Thanks - looked on the web, but everything is comparing newer stuff!

The Celeron 500 should do the job easily if a PII350 was the basic needed. The only difference between them is the clock speed and the onboard cache, Celerons had less.
Should be fine. basially same chip minus some onboard cache. The fact that your is a higher speed should help aswell as long as you've got plenty
of RAM.

As the prog appears to be largely text based I would have thought your Celeron would be up to the job. Worst case - it will just run a bit slower than intended.
Great - thanks guys

What mac and what OS you running? If it is intel then get parallels, even on a mac mini it will run windows programmes faster than the equivalent
clock speed on a PC box! You also don't wvwn need to see windows as the current version allows you to run PC apps off the Mac desktop.
If you are on power PC there are a couple of emulators that will work but are slower and clunkier.

I want my macs (mini and PBP) to live inside! The old PC will live in the garage to help out with the thousands of bits that I'll break the
triumph down into.. good idea though.
