You should probably stop running it on your Mini with 2GB memory. *smile* Memory is cheap. A whopping 8GB is only $350 if bought in 2 4GB modules, like for a MacBook. If you're buying for an IMac, you can use 4 2GB modules, and get 8GB for more like $250.
If you don't give VMware lots of memory, it isn't going to work. If you do, it runs just as fast as a real Windows PC. VirtualBox and Parallels will be just as slow without enough memory. XP Pro needs 1GB to run at its best. Win 7 needs 2GB. That's how much they need on real PCs, so it isn't reasonable to expect that they can run well with less in a virtual machine than is required on a physical computer.

Zufelt Sent: Thursday, 25 February 2010 4:10 p.m. To: [email protected] Subject: VMWare Fusion 3 / Windows 7 Good evening, Curious if anyone has written about accessibility differences between VMWare Fusion 2 and 3. Would someone who has upgraded share if you are finding anything troublesome in the new version, anything new that is a benefit? Also, for anyone who has installed Windows 7 in Fusion 3, was the process easy, can it be automated like Windows XP, and which edition of Windows 7 installation media where you using?
