Hi,

 

I am fairly new user to this world of running OSX in Vmware. In 2 days, I have managed to get a fully working virtual system. I am beyond speechless, but none of this would have been possible to the members here...especially to the members who create unlockers, video/audio drivers, darwin os etc....amazing work boy and girls. Seriously amazing work!!!!

 

So I have 10.7.2 fully installed (following the thread 'Fix Lion 10.7.2 in Vmware)

 

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=270140

 

I have installed Vmware Tools using the Darwin 401 iso, along with Zenith432's SVGA Driver 1.2.4

 

And I am using VMware Player 4, on a host system have i5-750 OCed to 4Ghz with 8GB of Ram, and the VMware OSX guest system has 2 Cores with 4GB of RAM allocated to it. In VMware OSX - system about shows 3.65 Ghz speed, I dunno why?

 

Side Question :- Does anyone know why Safari Hangs up inside Vmware, it keeps on loading the page, and if I hit stop it says it needs to do a full reload or cancel...and it hangs on page loads all the time. I have to use Chrome to overcome weird Safari Woes....suggestions?

 

But below is my VMX Configuration File - I would appreciate if you guys would take a moment to look at it, and tell me on where I can improve (either add or remove stuff...for example VRAM?).
