A few questions regarding virtual machines as ive said before the old laptop I was working off of pretty much died on me and am in the process of saving up money for a new laptop and am building my own desktop right now im working off of my parents desktop but on it I feel constrained… really constrained so Ive decided to set up a virtual machine that I can work off of with Windows XP now my question is how much RAM and disk space should I dedicate to it? this desktop of my parents (sadly) only comes with 448 mb of Ram and the C: drive has 65gb free space and the D: 7gb of free space
You’re welcome… anyway, the guesses were based in my old Virtual Machines work. Indeed, you should have at least 1Gb of RAM to run XP virtually + normal usage at the same time. The virtual machine will run very very slow and the main machine (host) either…
ouch I guess not then, I just wanted to create one cause me I like to tweak things to work how I like and experiment as well with Avast! and such but for some odd reason I cant convince my dad to switch for Norton no matter how many times I tell him its bad, but I cant do any of that on this PC because well its not mine
Yeah I agree, Its sad though because my old 2002 laptop had 512mb of ram so every time I look at this desktop I cant help but just ask the question “what were they thinking?”
