Speeeeeeeeeeeeeeed

Post by stefan.becker »

My first impression: Wow!

The first usable version for 64 Bit AMD (Athlon x64 2) CPUs and 32 Bit Guests with VT. Host: Suse Linux 11.1/64.

Windows XP 32 and Vista 32 now works properly with VT. Before that was not possible or very slow.

hmm, strange, but I do not see any changes - Adobe Lightroom is still slow and almost unusable...
Maybe I should switch off Direct3D support?

An x86 WinXP guest is probably faster if VT-x is disabled.

Solaris 10u7 guest on Vista x64 host is also MUCH faster!

Currently just setup for single processor as Solaris will not properly install when VBox configured for multi-processor. Haven't been brave enough yet to flip it over to 2 processors and see if it stays running. :-)
