Yes indeed they do.. Back in 2018, my plan was to run Virtual Box on a computer I had found in the garbage, install Mystic, C-Net Amiga, and Synchronet on it. Well the system wasn't enough to do it. I ran all of them on seperate computers, then after running 2 Commodore boards on real hardware, I said enough. 1 computer all the systems. 64gigs ram, 8TB storage, and a Ryzen 12 core processor. No issues anymore. It all runs on that machine with Proxmox. Nothing better..
