Does anyone have any experience running softPC on a model 835SRX?

I realize that question sounds silly, but we have some molecular
modeling software that runs on a PC which we would like to run on
an 835 _if_ softPC can make use of some of the 835's graphics
capabilities.

Our department is setting up a molecular modeling/graphics class to
be taught next semester.  As it turns out, we would solve many problems
regarding space allocation, user training, etc., if we could run
everything on the 835.  I would like to hear from anyone running softPC
to learn more about its limitations.  I would guess that applications
which bypass the PC's BIOS are not going to work.  Is that correct?
Are there other limitations?  What sort of graphical output can I
expect?

Thanks in advance for any answers to these questions.
