hi
I was wondering if Ultimate Edition can be installed under windows seven as a virtual machine.
I tried but the response of the Ultimate Edition OS is very slow.
any advice?
thanks in advance
rick

Yep, download and install virtualbox.
Install 2.8 in Vbox , hope you have virtual support on your CPU/bios or it might be a bit slow.
Use do do that my self. Win 7 then vbox ultimate edition.
better to dual boot the two os's. 1 for all around use ( ultimate edition) and win 7 for games and must haves for windows based software.
Further you get away from windows , the better.
recommend to NOT use windows for Internet under any condition.
Or if you don't game, then 2.8 Ultimate Edition as main OS and vbox win 7.

thanks for the tip,I'll try soon.
I did try with vmware but it seems to be very very slow,is virtual box better?
also I have an Intel T7300 chip dual core but I don't know if it support virtual machines,I would think so though.
thanks

I show your CPU does support Intel V. Question is, does your bios allow it to be switched on ?
Some bios do not.
Yes, vbox is a bit faster then VMware from what I have seen first hand.

hi,
you were right,the Asus A7Sv is VT-x capable but I looked everywhere for updated bios that might allow
virtualization but I didn't find anything and the current bios (302)does not allow virtualization.
Do you know of anyway to go around this lack?
thanks

Sadly, Intel V has to be enabled on a bios level.
There is no way to force bios to enable via a OS or dos.
some one very smart would have to mod the bios.

xp 1 GB minimal x32 or 3 GB minimal x64
vista/win 7 1.2 GB minimal x32 3 GB minimal x64.
that is the minimal specs if win xp SP2 SP3 is installed
yes 512 MB is to little for even xp, windows likes LOTS of ram.
I have NEVER yet seen errors out of Vbox. What errors are you seeing ? If Intel v is off them V needs to be off in settings to.

Thanks for the patience pc-trends
I hate to bother you for this but can you tell me how to properly set up a virtualized Ultimate Edition
with either software, I tried several times but it either is so slow to start or doesnot install at all.
thanks again

slowness would come from hardware limitations and lack of V support.
To install with vbox if Intel V is supported but not on. You need to turn V off in vbox settings.
If V is on, select ALL available cores and IO cache on in Vbox settings.
This is where performance starts to show.
