Howdy,

I'm considering upgrading to a MacII-- (probably a si or ci), but I have a bunch
of PC games that I would like to be able to run.  I am considering SoftPC,
but I was wondering:

	a) How fast does it run (ie: 8MHz equivalent?)
	b) What graphics modes does it support.
	c) How fragile is it?  Will my games crash it.

The games all use the "enter word # on page # line #" style of 
protection.  None of the disks are copy-protected.

Some of the games are:

	- Eye of the Beholder
	- Pool of Radiance
	- M1A1 Abrams
	- Wolfpack
	- Overlord


Will the execution speed of these games be unbearably slow?  Will they
run at ALL?

Please email any messages directly to me.

Thanks in advance,

Eric


ps.  The only problem with the Mac (besides price), is that it doesn't
	 have many good colour games.
