Hey, the main question I'm asking is should virtual machines always be noticablly slow compared to the host machine? I've never had luck running any OS's on my vmware as I get enough lag for them to be un-practical. I need to be able to run windows 8 smoothly on my virtual machine as I plan on using it for developing apps using Visual studio 2012. I did have it on a seperate partition but as I want to encrypt my whole drive I need to get down to one OS, but as you need windows 8 to develop win8 apps I need to access it somehow!
My machine: Dell XPS 15. Intel core i7 2670QM @2.2Ghz, 6GB RAM, 2GB NVIDEA Geoforce GT540M, 750GB HDD.
My setup Virtual Machine with windows 8 professional 64bit: 1 processor with 4 cores, 3GB RAM, 60GB HDD.
What seems wrong here?! Cheers for any help!
Note: I'm using vmware workstation 9.
