snipazer Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Hey everyone, I am running OSx86 in vmware. I have 1gb RAM and a 3.33GHz Intel CPU. It is so amazingly slow. Does anyone now a way to speed it up any? Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/52735-osx86-in-vmware/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssamayoa Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I just installed 10.4.8 on vmware server 1.0.1 and found the same problem you have. Did you found some way to make it less slow? My hardware: Dell Inspiron 6400 Centrino Duo 1.6 2 Gb RAM The VM is configured with 512Mb of RAM. I try with 1 and 2 processors but is almost identical bad performance. Regards.

cbmkgd Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Yes, this is a common problem. Maxxuss had an explanation about this, but I don't remember the technicalities. I you check the host's performances in task manager, you'll see the cpu always near 80% or 90% or above. I think the last version which worked fine and fast was 10.4.3 or .4.
