Thanks for showing interest in helping me! I'm a little ticked to find out that this computer does not have virtual pc capability.

Hope this info helps. It's from the spec sheet.
Again, Thanks for the help! TRULY APPRECIATED!!

OOPS: I forgot to mention that I have 4 GB of memory, and Sound Blaster LS

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! :)

I found Intel has Pentium D 950..... is that compatible and HAV capable? I read the specs on it, but must admit it was a bit over my head!!! :pt1cable:

AGAIN... Thank you very much for helping me. I made the decision to not pursue this. I'm better off just buying a new desktop and this time I will make sure it is HAV capable.

Take Care!
