Hi listers, I'm having problems running windows 7 under vmware fusion 3.0.1, the latest version. Specifically, when it's running, windows 7 slows my mac down considerably. My mac is a 2.4 GHZ core2 duo from 2008 with 2 gigs of ram. Even with a gig of ram allocated to each system, the performance on both the mac and windows is very slow. Alex starts breaking up, and it takes much longer to load applications or even web sites. Also, I have noticed that my fan kicks on a lot more often, even when doing something simple in windows like working with a word document or opening an excel file. What can I do to speed up windows 7, which seems quite bloated to me? I've already disabled nonsense like system restore, arrow effects, 3d graphics optimization in fusion, and file indexing. Note, even when I allow the machine to use 2 processor cores, it seems rather sluggish. Any suggestions? Or given my machine's configuration, should I just stick with XP, which is only a temporary solution, as it will be obsolete in a year or two?
