Hello everybody,
I did some tests with emulated Mac cpu's, to point out that you can still continue working, with System7, even after your old Mac broke down.
The emulated Mac cpu's are : Motorola 86040 (BasiliskII)
                             MPC 601 (SheepShaver)
A good host system for emaculation will be Windows2000pro or XP. If those are hard to find SuseLinux11 is a free alternative.

These are some scores of different cpu's, Mac OS was 7.1 for Basilisk and 7.6 for SheepShaver.

MiniBench scores        Basilisk                SheepShaver

Pentium3/650               13                        27

Atom N270                  26                        38

Intel E2180                60                        90

AMD X2 64 5000+            70                        136

As I already told, a P3 is sufficient to run the emulation at moderate speed with the "just in time compiler" active. My 7100/80 in comparision gives me a MiniBench score of 20. If you are looking for something really fast, check for AMD cpu's.

Best wishes, System7 forever!
