jayroller Posted August 22, 2003 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0r3d Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 You can download trials for both pieces of software also. I always say Download and don't buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted August 29, 2003 Share 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

likuidkewl Posted December 11, 2003 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceez Posted December 12, 2003 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visentinel Posted December 14, 2003 Share 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 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
