Re: [Plug] VMware for Linux
|
I'm guessing the memory requirements have more to do with the delay than
the Processor:
Rational:
Laptops typically have slower hard disks than desktops
To load a OS that needs a lot of RAM to run fast under an OS that can only
supply less than 64MB will require a lot of swapping. Hence a slow down in
performance.
My test were done with 192MB using Windows NT configured to use 64MB. I
never once hit my swap space with the VM running and other Linux apps and
all performed acceptably well.
Just my 2 cents.
