Hi guys,
has anybody got a running vmware? I need this stuff, but it's incredibly s-l-o-w. I am running an AMD--K6 and i read about the problems, but it boots; and they say it should then run okay! The total mem is set to 90M and the virual machine gets 64M.
Any ideas ? Any alternatives around ?
Hi Dan, did you install the vmware tools? They speed up the display quite a bit. However, if you did, you probably are already at maximum speed. I have vmware running on a Celeron 333 which is overclocked to 500 MHz. It has 64 MB RAM out of a total of 128 MB. Working with Word is possible but awfully slow, mainly due to the stupid paperclip wizard I believe. I have given up working with Origin since it is really too slow. I guess, upgrading to more RAM and a faster CPU should help.
