[3.0.4] Vista GUEST Performance Really Bad?

Post by JeZ-l-Lee »

Hi,

My host is Linux Mint 7 Gloria 32bit
and I am using VirtualBox 3.0.4.

I installed Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 32bit into Virtual Machine
with allocating 2GB RAM and 128MB graphic memory.

I properly installed Windows Guest Additions,
but overall graphic performance of Vista is really really slow?

Is there anything I can do to make Vista Guest VM graphics run better?
Was hoping I could play some games like Half-Life 2 on it, but no go at this point.

I did the Vista performance test, and it shows gaming graphics at a 1 out of 5?

Thanks!

Jesse
