We have had some reports of "slow performance." I was wondering about the RAM our consultant had us set them at 512 but that seems low to me. Especially with VMs because they will only use it when it needs it. Haha, dont think it is just your users. Ours complain about some things like that as well. I did shut off the page file on one and it sure seems to come back from the screen saver a lot quicker.

Our database apps (especially those that have a lot of screen redrawing for long lists of numbers) run at a crawl without 4GB of RAM, even though they are only XP 32-bit machines. Don't know whether it is just our thin clients or not, but don't expect the performance of animated mouse pointers and the like to be up to much (probably only our users would complain about such a thing, however). If you are going to be using multiple screens, we have found SplitView to be very handy. 2009/10/2 Craig Gauss <[email protected]> Just looking to see if anyone else out there is running View and if they have come up with any sort of best practices when it comes to Windows workstations. We followed Vmware's best practice guide but I am wondering if anyone else has found some good things that worked for them. I did read on one forum that some users have found it better to set the VMs with no page file.
