Add memory to machine

Post by Laucksy »

I have virtualbox installed on my windows 7 computer. I'm running a virtual machine of OSX Mavericks on it. I recently upgraded my computer's RAM to 8gb, and then upped the virtual machine to 5gb so it would run faster. However, after installing the new RAM, the virtual machine doesn't seem to be running any faster, even though I more than doubled the amount of RAM it gets. My computer has an i3-2370 processor at 2.4 gigahertz. I checked control panel and it says that I have 8 gb of RAM installed, and virtualbox says my virtual machine gets 5gb of RAM. Why isn't it running any faster?
