2 running on the same computer - Question of Performance vmwares!

Hi everyone, Im quite new post on these forums, so I hope Im posting this question on the right place, if not, forgive me.

My question is,

Im trying to run 2 workstations vmware on my computer with my main window.

I'm using windows xp sp3 on the vmwares as well as on the main window

Well, my problem is, it seems that with 2 vmwares running, some programs I opened on two of them will slow down the vmwares as it rly looks like an old computer running on vista (for example)...

So my question is, is anyway that I can do the 2 vmwares perform better?

Only a vmware works perfectly, but when I got the 2 open and I try to run different things on two of them, they slow down and hit low lvls performance...

Well,.

Ive tried to put more memory ram for each vmware

Ive tried to put less memory ram for vmware wach

Ive tried to lower resolutions or colors or themes

But none of them gave positive results, I think that lower the ram to each of them did work a little better, but not as much as I need.

Now, I had 2 vmwares and 1 of them is cloned from the other and Im wondering if it matters at all in terms of future performance, exactly what I need now.

My computer specs are as follows:

core2 quad 2.83 ghz processor

4 GB ram 800 mhz

XFX 750i sli motherboard

SATA hd

I RLY want and need to have these 2 vmwares works perfectly on this computer.

What can I do? And/or what say u?

Any material of parts upgraded? Or the problem is the configuration of the vmwares?

As I said Im wondering if the vmware clone affects this, and if I should just create a new vmware instead of cloning that... etc etc.

Or if I should buy more ram... or if its all in the vmwares configuration

Please let me know what can I do to increase performance or have a perfect combination of 2 stable vmware running on my computer with programs inside also running well.

Programs are not heavy, Id say like programs for simple tasks. Ive checked the processor used and he's not above 30 to 40%, so I really think it's something I can improve in the settings or parameters of ram or vmware is not cloned configuration or something around that.

If please post and correct me if Im wrong and tell me what I can do!

Thank you very much in advance.

I run multiple instances of VMW7.01 every day.

Most of your performance problems will be your hard drive bottlenecking, I run W7 64 b with a few gadgets that monitor the CPU, disk IO & RAM so I can see when the hard drives work flat.

In any case of the performance tips.

If you have the RAM in VM 7.01 Edition, preferences, tab memory. If you have 4 GB RAM to say or to choose before integrate all VMs reserved host RA

If your don't have the ram then choose the Middle option. and in all cases try to allocate as much ram as you host can. For example on my 8 Gb VM will allow me to allocate more 5990 MB is needed I guess under W7.

With regard to your guests. Change the settings for the Virtual Machine, use what is recommended for XP you can use 512 MB, processors, I have not really noticed much difference in performance if I allocate 4 cores or a carrot.

Disk space I allocate a sum say 40 GB to a XP guest, but I leave the disk extend depending on use so it is not allocated in advance disk space. If you click the utilities button you can also defragment hard drive here as well. I don't know how that compares to defragment the guest himself, but if you have a lot of time in your hands, I guess you could try the guest operating system own Defragmenter, then try the Defragmenter utility VM.

Network Adpaters get better performance if NAT value, if not to communicate with the host to a guest and vice versa using a bridge the package must go down the wire to the router/server and then travel back to the host even if it's the same thread! You will notice more if you use shared folders & bridged.

On the Options tab of comments, Advanced option, I think, but maybe wrong that this memory Page trimming may create rea/disk writes further that, if you have a slow hard drive in the first place will be just slow it more. This is one of these options that might work for you, or it could slow a little more things up according to specs pc HW host. What you can do if you have more disks is have your guests to reside in a number of disks to balance i/o across.

These suggestions can be used to both host and guest operating system Windows.

In the XP Control Panel, System icon, Advanced tab, settings (Performance) button, choose the setting for best performance option. It will take off the ontop of the Basic windows controls MS fancy graphics overlay, so XP will look like for example W2k/ME/98. Also, if you want to run more than one virtual machine at a time in the host the Advanced tab click and change programs at bottom Services.This time slicing CPU so more time CPU is shared with anything else instead of saying 70% of the time CU are accessible for the currently running program. That's what I run on my W7 host because it passes more easily then. Change use of Programsto system Cache memory to agree that it is more dependent of HW. Finally let windows manage its own virtual memory for optimal performance.

Other things to consider is the indexing disc, view the properties of your hard drive and turn off disk indexing, well as its only supposed to throw to rest its always something else to slow down your machine with as well as other unnecessary programs that run as a service or an application next to the system clock.

Finally, make sure that your AV scanner comments VM files.

I think that kind of covers most of the settings, but I'm sure others will know of others.

Good luck!

  • Flash CS4 can be installed and run on the same computer as Flash CS3?

    I will be able to install Flash CS4 and keep Flash CS3? I can run both at the same time on the same computer?

    I have several projects I want to maintain that in Flash CS3 for various reasons. If I have to put in place a separate computer to develop in CS4, I would like to know in advance.

    Thanks in advance.

    You should be able to. CS4 install in a separate Directory of CS4. I currently have a system running suite CS3 and Flash 8 and InDesign CS2 web! From time to time, the system is confused between Flash 8 and Flash CS3 to open when you click on a FLA file in Windows Explorer by default. But apart from that, there is no issue.

    I intend to get CS4 and still keep Flash 8 and CS3, simply because I've been working with people around the world who don't bother to upgrade.

  • May DW CS6 and CC are running on the same computer (was: Dreamweaver?)

    I teach using 6 CS in my class, if my students download Dreamweaver CC can work in both versions, or that will cause a problem.

    Perpetual license of DWCS6 version is now 5.5 versions removed the 'current' and in each new release, there has been significant changes to menu and features. If you try to 'teach Dreamweaver' they will have a pretty hard time after the example of DWCS6 the latest version of CBWMS 20141 x (I did later and cannot remember the exact version number)

    That being said, Creative Cloud subscriptions allow users to install all the way back to DWCS6 cloud. Currently, you can have DWCS6 DW CC and the ACPE 20141 clouds x all installed at the same time. So, if your students were to become cloud subscribers, or if the school is install software to use, the old version can be added to the title of the standard subscription using the creative Cloud Desktop application.

  • GPIB analyzer works only with the Trace of e/s on the same computer

    Following the advice on the basics of knowledge I want to capture Trace IO simultaneously with the

    Capture on the field PC Analyzer.  This is because I have to go on a customer site and only want to

    capture non-intrusive traffic GPIB.  The IO Trace does not capture the field of PC that has the GPIB +.

    card.  When I run IO path on the Test PC, it works fine.  However, I want to avoid encroaching on the

    Setting up clients to say IO Trace Facility.

    If I run a basic series write and read VI. EXE on the PC in the field and to perform only IO capture of this

    works fine (no instrument not attached - just to make sure IO Trace works on PCs in the field).  If I run the NOR

    draw on its own on the field PC, then run the Test PC controlling Instruments, IO Trace is

    does not work.

    At this point, I wonder if Analyzer and IO Trace can not run simultaneously on the same PC?

    OR Trace does not work with GPIB cards +?

    Help much appreciated.  Thank you

    Trace of e/s OR and GPIB Analyzer can be run on the same computer, but not in the way you want.

    The GPIB analyzer is actually a Logic Analyzer, which "listens" for all lines GPIB directly from hardware. For this reason, it can be run from any computer connected to your GPIB topology, even it is not involved in the transers. This allows almost completely corner the bus logging.

    Trace IO OR works with drivers OR Save function calls that are made. These function calls can only be captured the system where they are called, therefore NO IO Trace should run on the test computer. Trace IO NOR will always be a small impact on the time where the test system, due to the time it takes to connect to each call.

  • Can I run Release Candidate (19.02), Beta, every night, Aurora and ESR versions on the same computer?

    I know that I can run the version beta and all night together on the same computer because they are installed in different directories. What I do then, is that I have a profile for each version. What I do is that I've flown FireFox.exe - ProfileManager when I start either the beta and nightly builds.

    My Question is can I also install the Aurora, the Release Candidate and versions of ESR on the same computer as I do with the beta and every night? If so, how should I install in different directories? I create new profiles for each version. What I can do, is copy in my original profile to newly create profiles so that I can keep all my plugin/addons, themes, bookmarks, etc. of the same.

    The next question, (I think I know the answer but I just want to know that) now I can synchronize my favorites from each of the different profiles I created?

    Secondly, I have now I can do the ABOUT: CONFIG in the address bar of Firefox, anyone have an idea where I can read about what each entry means? Also, are there other secrets in Firefox, similar to the tip ABOUT: CONFIG? I know an app where you can do ABOUT: ME, but this is as far as I know.

    I know this was asked of billions of times, but I also have to ask. Is it possible at all that Firefox, Thunderbird and Seamonkey will be never out to the Apple iOS? I know it's impossible, but maybe someone MIGHT have some thoughts on that?

    Finally, I know this is off topic, but I'll give it a shot. I use Outlook 2013, does anyone know if Outlook can manage discussion groups? The reason why I asked is because I'm just learning that there is a ton of focus groups for Firefox, ThunderBird and SeaMonkey. Somehow, I would get these focus groups in Outlook 2013. I already get allot of flows for other things, so this isn't a problem.

    I would much appreciate it if someone could help me with these questions.
    Thank you.

    See for more information the performance of several different versions of "Firefox". Firefox, Beta, Aurora and nightly installed everything like "Firefox" in their own country.

  • my windows says that another computer is running in the same network with the same ip address, please contact

    Today morning when I opened my samsung mini, it displays a message that another computer is running on the same network with the same ip address please find a solution for this

    In most home networks where multiple devices are connected to a router, router will assign an IP address to each device (via DHCP). This method keeps usually different devices to get the same IP address, but if you restart your router, it will not address remembered that he released before it was restarted.  This condition can also occur if you manually assigned an IP address to a device located in the router's DHCP range.  If the problem is not due to manually assign an IP address, then this condition will be corrected over time.  But if you're in a hurry, you can unplug your router from the wall and stop all computing devices on it.  Then plug the router back in and bring up all your devices again one by one.

  • "The account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process" while trying to connect to the internet.

    Original title: the account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process

    while trying to connect to internet, I get the message "connection status: unknown the account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process" that you start happens out of the blue. When I run the diagnostic and repair tool it says that Windows cannot resolve the problem, contact admin or your ISP. I know that my internet service works very well. I am currently on an e-machine running Windows Vista Edition Home Premium and it connects without problems. My problem is that my most recent top of office (gateway also on Windows Vista Home Premium) receives connection problems. IM connected to the internet (DSL) with the ethernet cable from the Yukon. All the lights are green on the wireless gateway, so I know that the service is very good. Strange thing I noticed, when I go to network status and share and view Gateway desktop computer shows the "Yukon Ethernet controller" as the connection while the e-machine device says Im using "Intel (R) PRO/100VE Network Connection" Im using the same cable (Yukon) and put in place for both computers, so I was wondering what that was all too. Any help is appreciated.
