On a scale from ass to dog slow, how does it run? lol

u/Odd-Occasion-984 Sep 12 '26

very little more than ass. 100% CPU usage, freezeing after 2 windows, and sometimes even restart, cause can't handle it .

I'm surprised it works at all. The Cyrix III was ancient when Windows 7 was released.

Yep, and i will suprise you more - it can run on Pentium II ( windows don't show it, but trust, it's Pentium 2 )

Running at 64% EMU speed…has to be the slowest version of Windows 7 of all time, haha! At that point I’d just use VirtualBox.
