Anyone have hints to fix it? > THANKS I have tried various combination using GSX server and Workstation 4.5.x but haven't really seen any slowness. But then again, I need to understand what you mean by slowness. First of all, when running your host system, you need to make sure you have ample memory for the guest system. If you have too many stuff running on the background, it's definently going to slow both system down. There are number of tweaks for the guest OS as well. On the guest OS setting, make sure you disable services you don't need like CDROM/Sound, etc... On the host machine, make sure you disable vmnetx, meaning if your using your guest OS as NAT only then you could turn off your VMnet1 I think or VMnet8, so that you don't have these virtual pipes running. - -- Gene Yoo -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 8.1 iQA/AwUBQSL5Omo1POX5M8+yEQIWhgCgnIv1Nuj1rfOi2Dy19Wg5jotUSrkAmwZk UmriKhlKN7tzeULgBBAS3kG2 =ME2T -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
