| 196585 | 2003-12-03 22:13:00 | It's in the early stages of development so won't be all that much of a representation of what the final will end up like. Also running it under VMWare is not going to be the best way to run it in the first place. | -=JM=- (16) | ||
| 196586 | 2003-12-03 22:52:00 | And why not? Lemme tell you a story.... I was running Redhat 9 as a base OS Under VMWare I had something like: Mandrake 9.0 Redhat 8 Windows 98 Windows 2K Windows XP Redhat 9 was downloadng and I was browsing with and stuff (Now its been a while so I hope I can remember this right): Mandrake was playing music Redhat 8 I cant remember for the life of me what it was doing.... Win98 was defragging a HDD which didnt really exist coz it was a Virtual Disk Win2K was encoding an MP3 WinXP was playing DIvX ...And I cant remember what I had Redhat 8 doing.... But my PC was handling it fine.. Sure CPU Usage was at max, but I max out my CPU about 20-30 times a day (No exaggeration) compiling apps and the likes. Why can Longhorn not run under VMWare with Slackware 9.1 as a host then? |

| 196588 | 2003-12-04 00:28:00 | 512MB It seemed to be doing fine though.. Playing MP3's.. DivX.. Defragging a HDD which doesnt really exist (:D) It could hold up fine with 5 OS's, so why cant it do just one "newer" one? And yes, as I said the CPU was MAXED out... but it still worked... I'd say it was the DivX playing which was killing it coz you _need_ a 500Mhz to play the video I was playing (Not movie.. Music video...). YMMV obviously.... but still... |
