I'm running XP Professional (remember only NT / 2000 / XP Pro can use multiple processors), and the only problems I've had is in FP DOS applications - they'll occasionally grab one full processor and get into some kind of "loop" condition. But a quick "kill" in the task manager and starting it up again fixes things right up.

I'm running the new Novell XP client on a mixed Novell 5.1 / Windows 2000 network, and all seems well.

I have a couple of third party libraries that plain refuse to run under Win2000 and as the legacy application uses some Novell libraries too, they don't run well under NT or 2000 hence, the requirement to run Win9X (VFP will run on Win9X better than FPW runs on NT/2000 for me, at any rate).

>>Gary,
>>I been running (and developing) in FPW 2.6a (with the official MS speed patch) on a Compaq 2gHz Xeon system since they were first released (September '01). Actually since it's a dual processor, I guess you could say I'm running at 4gHz <g>.

We would likely be running Win98 on the new machine(s) (as our 2.6 apps behave better in Win98 than they do in NT/2000). We have only run our 2.6 apps on P3 750mhz class machines so far. We have no idea whether the Fast Processor patch will handle the very much faster machines that are selling nowadays (P4 1ghz+).
