Multiple VMs

[WaqarAzeem]

Hi All,

I tried to run 2 different windows XP VM.

Just after starting the second VM then whole PC went slow down. It seem RAM and Processors are good enough to run 2 VMs.

What extra hardware is required that is making the bottle nack. Or it is a problem of VM player multitasking.

Better to say... how to configure/combile minimum hardwares technologies to get most of the VM ware.

Hello!

You need, more RAM! 😄

What kind of Hardware you have?

All these are already configured ...

Enable “Turbo Mode” if your processors support it.

Make sure hyper-threading is enabled in the BIOS

But no performance boost ...

Any suggestions for home users?

Hi Azeem,

Welcome to the forums.

You should also have a deep look at your disk subsystem: Player is using disks intensively.

Thanks Vaiper & Franck

Configuring each VMs to 1.5 GB of memory... they start behaving like normal. It was RAM issue as you pointed out.

Just to complete this thread... putting here few more things that i have found in docs...

"Many recent processors from both Intel and AMD include hardware features to assist virtualization. These

features were released in two generations: the first generation introduced CPU virtualization; the second

generation included CPU virtualization and added memory management unit (MMU) virtualization. For the

best performance, make sure your system uses processors with second-generation hardware-assist features."
