Guest Windows-7 32bit on Windows-8 64bit - Slow with 4GB/4 Cores

[matthiasmax]

Hi,

my guest OS has assigned 4 of 16GB and all 4 cores of the hosting system. As the guest Windows 7 is 32bit 4GB is more than it can handle anyway.

Still the guest is runing a bit slow & sluggish. Even on simple tasks like web browsing. On the host browsing is so much faster in Chrome for example.

But also other tasks are remarkably slower.

What should I chnage on my uest config? Might be the huge resoltuion of 1920 ?

Or is the virtual network driver making it slow?

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Thanks

4gb of RAM on a 32bit VM is wasted - it will run faster with less RAM.
Also assigning all possible CPUs makes the VM slow.

Try 2 Gb RAM and 2 or better 1 virtual CPU
