L337G33K Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hi.Please tell me how much RAM,HDD Space and other things you have assigned to run Windows 7 Beta on VM Ware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Just use the default Vista options. It will run happily with 512MB, but if you can afford it, give it more. Hard disk space wise, 20-30GB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L337G33K Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 is the aero effect working ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 is the aero effect working ? Probably won't in VMware. At least, my vista does not, but does outside of vmware. Vmware does not use the GPU in the same way your pc does. Its a sort of visual proxy, so you don't get 3d acceleration, hence, no aero flip effects, etc. If they lowered the requirments in 7(like their experience rating system), it might work, but I doubt it.

Rain Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Out of the box worked great on my thinkpad t60p Not VM in any way 40 GB space + ubunu + XP all of them 40 GB No drivers to use for my SATA Video wireless was easy Blew it up twice on purpose for testing and it recovered once the seocnd time i don't think it had a chance in hell release Dons malware package on it and it never had any second thoughts about dieing but the first test package was good! recovered fine in less then 15 min! Blows vista away hands down as we all know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-S-B Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 You won't get any visual effects like Aero on a VM as it doesn't use GFX acceleration. Give it as much resources as you can for the best results but In my testing, it requires less than Vista. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
