VMware Workstation 6.0 Performance

Tuesday, 22 May 2007 by Michel Roth

The Vmware performance blog, affectionately called VROOM!, has two interesting new articles up. One on general performance tips for VMware Workstation and one that looks at the specific performance (issues) of VMware Workstation 6.0 on Windows Vista.

The general performance tips isn't a brand spanking new one, it's the "old" VMware Workstaion general performance tips paper revisited with tips not only about things that you could tune with Workstation and its features, but also things you could tweak on your host operating system and within the guest, and even what to look out for on the hardware level.

The VMware Workstation 6.0 Performance of Windows Vista article talks about how VMware Workstation 6.0 performs on Windows Vista and why it might sometimes be a bit slower. The answer of course being that Vista eats up all your memory before you even get a chance to fire up a virtual machine ;-)
