VMware power

[KeypoX]

how much power does the vm get is it. I am very new to VM and it seems that it is really really slow,

i have a c2d at 3ghz 2gig memory

is there anyway to control the amount of ram and such it gets?

Yes, when the vm is powered off, you can adjust the amount of memory in the vm settings.
What are your host and guest oses?

VM's running in VMWare server and VMware workstations and other products like that can also only access about 70% of your resources. When you go to ESX they can access about 98-99%


oh .. and install vmware tools on the machine 🙂 speeds things up by alot

how vmware vs virtual pc 2007? I am trying to run vista and ubuntu


i was running vmware player by the way... it seemed wayto slow though

ireally just want to learn linux more ... but it really isnt an option due to games not running on it

get the free vmware server, you can edit the vm settings there
cant do that with the player

Google up VirtualBox. It's superior to VMWare Player and vastly superior to VPC 2007. (Free too.)
