Hi Well it probably could, if you were really desperate, but I wouldn't recommend it at all. It ran really slow on a 166M pentium, it was about a second before speech would even be spoken. It would overflow frequently and lock up, and ViaVoice would need to be restarted. I' think the minimum amount for using it productively would be a pentium 233. For something as slow as a 486, a hardware synth is really the only way to go if you want to actually use the computer.
