Mac OS running really slow

Post by phx7 »

I have a decent computer and I've given my guest 2GB of RAM but everything still runs really slow on virtualbox, any ideas why? thanks.

EDIT: I think I got it to run faster, changed the settings to 4 processors, duuuuuh -__-

Support for MacOS Guests is not allowed through Apples License, if the Host is not MacOS Server Hardware+OS.

I doubt you have OSX Server in your VM. Nor do I think you run it on Apple hardware. Those are the requirements to run OSX legally inside VB. Therefore, I'm locking this thread. Read the sticky for more info.
