| 1145203 | 2010-10-15 11:01:00 | anyone got any suggestions for a virtual machine app for windows 7 x64 that supports ubuntu? will vmlite work? | jareemon (5207) | ||
| 1145204 | 2010-10-15 11:02:00 | If its Pro or Ultimate use XP mode. Just because its called XP mode, doesnt mean XP is the only OS you can use. Altho if its 64 bit you want to test, it wont work | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1145205 | 2010-10-15 11:11:00 | will 64bit work in virtualbox or vmlite? | jareemon (5207) | ||

| 1145207 | 2010-10-15 11:17:00 | awesome. just downloaded virtual box, a 75meg file, in about 30 seconds :D | jareemon (5207) | ||
| 1145208 | 2010-10-15 13:49:00 | awesome. just downloaded virtual box, a 75meg file, in about 30 seconds :DThat means you're on a net connection with over 20mbits/sec downstream bandwidth... :eek: | Erayd (23) | ||
| 1145209 | 2010-10-15 19:22:00 | well, it was about a minute, i was slightly exagerating :D but i get an average of 13mb/s. Once it actually peaked for a split second at 20mbps on speedtest.net | jareemon (5207) | ||
| 1145210 | 2010-10-15 19:47:00 | Are you meaning Mb/s or MB/sec -theres is a difference ( Megabit or Megabyte) - but I did just get Virtual box through in under 40 seconds (www.imagef1.net.nz) But back to Ubuntu --did it work on the 64 bit |

I'm kind of assuming thats expected for a vm... [EDIT]: forgot to say, ive just gone with the 32 bit ubuntu. Is it worthwhile going with 64bit? I only have 1gig ram allocated to ubuntu |

I only have 1gig ram allocated to ubuntuNot unless you intend to do something that will benefit from having 64bit instructions available (e.g. transcoding video, compiling software etc) - unless you're doing something that needs it, in this case you're better off going with 32bit; it's a bit more efficient on memory use. | Erayd (23) | ||
