jouissance Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 My OSX86 installation runs like {censored} in VMWare (deadmoo's). Specs: 3.4GHz P4 (SSE3) 1 GB RAM 256MB VRAM Radeon 9800 Mobility Any suggestions? It's just always running really laggy - one major problem might be that I don't know how to get VMWare Tools installed...

ehntoo Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 It's VMWare. It's always going to be laggy. You may want to try some of the tips in the SpeedBoost section, though.

There are instructions somewhere here that detail how to "undo" that. It is reported that SSE3 machines suffer a performance hit running the patches intended for SSE2 machines. I'm not too clear exactly why. Just a thought. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/572-please-help-me/#findComment-11655 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Type platform=x86pc at boot promt. In my 1.8Ghz P4 256Mb RAM, it gaved a huge speed boost. In VMWare.
