For example, customer support and development teams can share a customer scenario encapsulated within a virtual machine. VMware Player can be used by anyone to run a virtual machine shared by a colleague or friend. VMware Player makes it quick and easy to take advantage of the security, flexibility, and portability of virtual machines. VMware Player can be used by anyone to run 32- and 64-bit guests in virtual machines on a Windows or Linux PC. VMware Player runs virtual machines created by VMware Workstation, GSX Server or ESX Server and also supports Microsoft virtual machines and Symantec LiveState Recovery disk formats. After that I am not sure what else I should troubleshoot.VMware Player is free software that enables PC users to easily run any virtual machine on a Windows or Linux PC. I am going to try and get a second hard drive and put it in this weekend to see if that will help. The highest I have seen the CPU usage spike on the host is to about 60%.ĥ00 GB SATA drive (465 GB after formatting) with 200 GB free spaceįor the moment I need to use the 32 bit version of Windows 7 for work but around December I should be able to switch back to the 64 bit version. CPU usage seems to sit between 10 and 20% when you are performing tasks in the virtual machine and have Pandora running on the host.
When stuff starts slowing down it sometimes jumps up a few percent but it never reaches 70%.
Memory usage sits between 50 and 60% with a virtual machine running and performing activities. The virtual machines are all configured with 40 GB hard drives and 1 GB of RAM. The mouse jumps all around the screen instead of moving slowly, it takes minutes to switch focus from one window to another, if you have Pandora or Winamp open playing music the audio starts skipping and eventually stops until the VMWare session is done doing whatever it's doing. Starting up, shutting down, and certain random tasks inside a VM session grinds the Windows host to a halt. Maybe a little slower while the VMs were open but it wasn't a big deal.Īfter installing VMWare Player 9 there seems to be some really big performance issues. I need to run VMWare Player with a couple of different Virtual Hosts for my classes which hasn't been a problem until they wanted us to upgrade to VMWare Player 9 this semester.
