Tips to help
speed up your installation of OSx86 in VMware
*********
Here are some tips to help you speed up Mac OS x86 in VMware:
- Store the virtual machine in a hard drive/partition separate from where Windows is installed
- Set the guestOS line in the VMX file to guestOS=darwin
- Disable all serial, parallel, and floppy controllers in VMware BIOS (part of installation procedure above)
- If it exists, delete the AppleTPMACPI.kext file in System/Library/Extensions
- Disable Dock Magnification
- Try this (apparently it speeds up the system): type in platform=X86PC at boot prompt
How to speed up OS X booting:
- Instead of turning off the VM when you're done, click the Pause button to save the state
- Then, when you want it back on, launch VMware and click the Start/Play button and it will instantly restore your state in about 10-20 seconds.
That all helps somewhat but the #1 sure way to increase your speed:
* Upgrade your RAM and allocate more to the virtual machine
