Macintosh Emulation Benchmarks (Windows Millennium and SoftMac 2000) You can read more tips about buying, upgrading, and optimizing a PC on our Secrets page. The benchmarks which follow will give you a rough idea of how fast your emulated Macintosh software will run on various PC platforms.

These numbers take into account the memory and disk space necessary for the installation of Windows itself plus the typical installation of a Macintosh emulator running Mac OS 8. The chart below gives general guidelines on the minimum and recommended configurations for each of our products on various DOS and Windows platforms. No complex installation procedures required. Each of our products take up less than 1 megabyte of disk space and can still be run from floppy disk or directly from the distribution CD-ROM, making it trivial for you to transfer our software from machine to machine as needed. Our products are written almost entirely in hand optimized assembly language for maximum speed and for minimum size on disk and in memory. If your PC can run Windows 98, it can run our software. Even though most of our products will even run on older 486 based PCs with even less memory, chances are that your PC already exceeds these design goals. Every product we offer for the PC designed to run on a minimal Pentium based computer with 32 megabytes of RAM running at 75 MHz and running Windows 98. All Emulators products are designed to be fast and efficient.

This is due to poor programming practices such as misuse of DLLs (also known as "DLL Hell"), the use of C++ or other inefficient compiled languages, not re-optimizing code to take advantage of the latest microprocessor and operating system features, and other common mistakes made by programmers. Slow emulation is not fun, yet most emulation software (and Windows software in general) tends to be painfully slow.
