Does Anyone use a Virtual Machine like Oracle or VMware?

[Agro]

Playing the client on w7 lappy and it runs okish but just like when i play say a Ruby file server on w7 i get lag and feel sluggish.

I have Oracle VM installed and i usually play via this as i have XP on it and the difference in speed is really good, i get no lag or sluggish feel on xp like i do on w7.

Tried to play Ace through Oracle and when i log in i get an error message, something to do with the D3D device which i think is a graphics card issue.

So my question is does anyone have this running through a VM and which one do you use?

To be fair on this server running it on XP to W7 there's not any differance, I mean any of the old server files running em on XP is a dream, but these files, if there is its very very very minor, I would only play Mir on XP, but here W7 seems fine

Both the client and server of ruby files work fine in Windows 7 on my laptop. In fact, they run fine on a notebook.

i run windows 7 and i am great .. no lag i get the odd disconnect but not too many times tbh ... i have no idea what Oracle VM is ... but i have never had lag or anything on this server

Its a Virtual Machine its like remote logging on to your computer but using XP as the OS so i dont have to parition and do it that way.

Its not really lag its just a slow slugish feel to w7 that i dont like, never get it on xp when on ruby so wanted to test ace to see if it was better than w7

Someone posted there about using VM, seems it does work for these files.

Changing the VM won't make a difference, it's whats running on the VM that matters.

Check the DirectX version and graphics drivers on the VM, assuming xp can even run it?

From what I've read of these files I can't see the VM helping at all anyway.

Nice one think ill try VMware see if that works.

Although looks like w7 is the better OS reading that thread.

So you think its the version of XP on the VM that is the problem?

Ill try to up the drivers before trying another VM then.

It's a DirectX related problem, looking what version of dx you have on the vm is the first step.

What I meant with my reply was that it isn't anything intrinsic to W7 that causes the lag but possibly a user setting within your W7 setup.
Cpu priority settings, file indexing, live antivirus etc. maybe ?
If you're running a VM and XP on the same lappy. also playing mir and its fine, this would confirm its just a setting of W7 as the laptop itself seems powerful enough.
