Windows 7 and MATLAB on VirtualBox

Post by maciekj »

Hi there,

I would like to setup VB and run Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro with 16GB.
What would be the ideal set up for this configuration considering that I will run numerical optimization problems using e.g. MATLAB for WIndows?

Any suggestions would be very appreciated,
Maciekj

Ideal setup would be 4 GB RAM, more makes no sense for a 32 bit OS.

And the VDI file for the virtual image: growing and more than 100 GB size.

Install Guest Additions, that was it.

That has nothing to do with Mathlab, that is what i use for Windows.

Hi Stefan,

thanks a lot!
However, I am still waiting for the memory modules, just wanted to prepare myself mentally for the exercise :)

Best Regards,
