In my own case, running VMWare with SuSE 6.3 on K6-300 with
128 Megs of RAM, I find that VMWare is quite acceptable with NT4
as the guest OS. Stable and not too slow. Win95, on the other
hand, boots but is otherwise too slow to be usable.
The original poster didn't mention what guest OS he was using with
his K-6, but if it was 9x, he'd be much better off dumping it in favor
of NT, at least if he wants to keep using VMWare with his current
processor.

Hi guys,
has anybody got a running vmware? I need this stuff, but it's incredibly s-l-o-w. I am running an AMD--K6 and i read about the problems, but it boots; and they say it should then run okay! The total mem is set to 90M and the virual machine gets 64M.
Any ideas ? Any alternatives around ?
Hi Dan,
did you install the vmware tools? They speed up the display quite a bit. However, if you did, you probably are already at maximum speed. I have vmware running on a Celeron 333 which is overclocked to 500 MHz. It has 64 MB RAM out of a total of 128 MB. Working with Word is possible but awfully slow, mainly due to the stupid paperclip wizard I believe. I have given up working with Origin since it is really too slow. I guess, upgrading to more RAM and a faster CPU should help.
Good luck, Alex.
