Could > you give a few words about your host hardware? - The host hardware is a dual quad core Intel Xeon E5520 @ 2.27GHz 24 GB RAM - The guest is windows w2k8 64 bit with 4 GB Ram and 2 Cores assigned - "This Computer" is vmware-1.0.8 running on ubuntu 2.6.24-24 - new_boot is VirtualBox 3.0.12 running on hand compiled 2.6.32.2 with 250 Hz and preemtion using vt and nested paging ... for the virtual box part we have tried various things (runing on 2.6.24, upgrade to 3.1.2 ... unfortunately the performance staid the same (or got worse in the case of 3.1.2) ... see my previous posts). Unfortunately I only got the idea of using a stock windows benchmark only pretty late in my testing, so I do not have more detailed input .... hth cheers tobi -- Tobi Oetiker, OETIKER+PARTNER AG, Aarweg 15 CH-4600 Olten, Switzerland http://it.oetiker.ch t...@oetiker.ch ++41 62 775 9902 / sb: -9900 _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list vbox-users@virtualbox.org http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
