Exactly. I think it can't handle >512MB and it *definitely* can't do
multicore. It's pointless. It's buying a new car and putting

modern hardware.
Definitely.
I'd use
VirtualBox in any case to deal with that issue. I've certainly done with
other old systems.
Well yes, but you need a host OS, and there is no reason not to _use_
that host OS and work on it.
