HunterJohnson Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 he said without new hardware. I dont think the speed of the drive is the issue. Its more of a config issue. obviously missed the very last part of his post. I would try ccleaner and get rid of everything except the essentials. You're 60gb hdd is quite small win7 is 30gb iirc plus programs which doesn't leave you with much. Personally I'd grab a new ssd they are extremely cheap now I think a 126gb can be had for under $100 Quote Scion tC SQ BuildiPad mini, lots of fabrication, daily drivenFord Explorer C Pillar Wall Build Just a cheap car to destroy with bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterJohnson Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 such as one of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227726 this is a decent ssd, the higher end line is the vertex they came out with the vertex 4 recently but that is more expensive Quote Scion tC SQ BuildiPad mini, lots of fabrication, daily drivenFord Explorer C Pillar Wall Build Just a cheap car to destroy with bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beaker Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 and if your windows install is 30gb, you're doing it wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n8ball2013 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 60 gb is fine. we build 2008 servers with anywhere from a 40 to 100 gb OS drive.

UMDSmith Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Ok, if you are running more than one VM at once, and you have a VM with 2 cores, and a vm with 4 cores, the 4 core will actually be slower. In fact, since your CPU is ONLY 4 cores, drop the VM to 2 cores. Basically, a 4 core VCPU will only get cpu time under conditions where all cores are free and not processing other commands, otherwise they get into the processor queue. If you set it to 2 cores, you only need 2/4 cores to be free to process commands in the vcpu. As you are running the vmcore as a shell in windows, you are basically crippling your VM by making it wait for 4 cores to be free. Just for the record, I have taken the VCP training for ESXi 4. I'd have the cert but the workplace decided not to pay for that, probably because it makes us more marketable elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n8ball2013 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 if youve been through the training and feel you can pass take the test. you are only hurting your pocket by not.

SnowDrifter Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 how many cores does your laptop have to start with? You may be overcommiited? Do you have vmware tools installed and hardware acceleration enabled. Good point. It's a quad core. I tried dropping it to 2. It didn't seem to make a huge difference. are you using vmware workstation 8 with the latest update ( 8.0.4 ? ) Yessir 8.0.4 build-744019 Dont forget to enable CPU Virtualization in the bios. Also as someone mentioned, Windows 8 is heavily reliant on GPU. Most VM's dont hardware accelerate video unless you tell it to. I'll try that and post back Unless you're dev'ing apps for Win8? Yup Thanks everyone for the replies and help!
