bubblegum Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 Does anyone have any views as to which one to go for.. pros.. cons and such!
vcant Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 i havent tried VMWare, but from my experience with VirtualPC its very easy to use, and its fast(when you configure it right )
bubblegum Posted August 22, 2003 Author Posted August 22, 2003 Thanx... chums!I shall go and try it out!
jayroller Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 Er, I prefer VMWare. So I'll just go hide in a corner somewhere bubblegum, if you get the PC Plus magazine with cover DVD, they usually have a trial of one or the other, or both. Try 'em before you buy 'em, I always say
b0r3d Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 You can download trials for both pieces of software also. I always say Download and don't buy
Aaron Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 I had a play with vmware, seems to be much slower (ran on 3.0GHz P4) than Virtual PC (which ran on a 1.2GHz AMD)
b0r3d Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 yeah, ive noticed that virtual PC is alot quicker too.
bubblegum Posted August 31, 2003 Author Posted August 31, 2003 Hi... back at last.... :-)I went with Virtual PC in the end VMware looks nicer, but like you all say Virtual PC runs better.. and it's easier to use...Thanx..
Juster Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 i like VMWare, but as AaronXP said, VMWare is too slow
likuidkewl Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 Anyone else had a networking problem with virtualPC? I am talking a big one, it completely hosed my tcp/ip stacks. I had to go back to before the install. Just curious as to see if anyone else had this issue.
ceez Posted December 12, 2003 Posted December 12, 2003 I use VPC, never vmware...it runs fine with any OS you throw to it. I dont see a need to change or try any other.
Visentinel Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 VMware has a heap more features than VPC but VPC is faster and has better Video Accel and i even managed to play a game in VPC with great framerate !
Lost Soul Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 id like to try vpc my self but its just so expensive
