    It doesn't matter. If anything, the Windows VMs should run slower than
    the native Linux OSes on the same machine. But they don't when talking
    about web surfing.

    Also, the real Win2k machine is the same machine as one of the two Linux
    boxes. That machine is dual boot.

    Oh, but anyway the machines are rather powerfull as web surfing machines
    go. The dual-boot is a 1.4GHz Athlon XP1600 with 512MB RAM, and a
    2.4GHz Athlon64 3400+ with 1GB RAM (running Suse 9.1 32 bit version).

    Both have 100Mb LAN cards. I can get 11MB/s FTP speeds between the
    machines, so the LAN hardware is working super.

    Good day!
