Special drivers in the guest seem to ease some of those problems, but in the end they still do not allow things you'd use on a regular desktop like video / gaming. Video has always been a difficult thing and will likely not become efficient in the near future, the reason being the amount of legacy in todays video architecture. Networking is also a complicated thing and the influence of tcp checksum offloading seems to be an important, but also hardware dependant factor. hdds are usually one/multiple file(s) on a physical hdd, so performance regarding random access is be really bad. But typical I/O has a lot of overhead, e.g. As long as you can keep memory usage modeate, virtualization doesn't create a bottleneck here. But we are only talking about cpu performance here. If you allow the host OS to be modified (linux only atm) you can use paravirtualization, which allows for up to 98% of the original performance. ssd and at least 8gb ram for virtual machine is like native)ĭisclaimer: I exposed the posibilities, no rule broken and it's every user's problem how he manage his licensing !ĬPU support is quite good today, at least with technologies like svm (amd) and vt-d (intel) it is possible to achieve 80% of the native performance of the host. so Mehtaparth94 ? GO FOR IT ! (having an hdd is painfull, I tested.

#Alienware os x Pc
^^ I think an assembled SSF PC will be a better buy over the overpriced Alienware and underpowered Mac Mini, this is what I will suggest in your price band -ĪMD A8-3850 ~6500/. I can wait for a Month more if needed! But Help me out on which to buy? You can say the new computer is gonna be my Primary Computer cum HTPC! Which one to buy guys!? It will be my MAIN Computer for 3-5 years!Ĭonsider gaming as my Least Priority! I have a Laptop for my Windows gaming! Music, Movies and TV Shows, Browsing, Programming and Web Dev, Light 2D Photoshop work(for Sites) and CS1.6(At max).ġ) Alienware X51 with Dell Monitor( which I intend to use with my 360 too) Bundle for 73KĢ) Mac Mini Server + 32" LED TV - Inclining more towards thisģ) iMac 21.5" - Considering this as it is one Helluva Computer.! Gaming is not my Primary concern as I have my 360 for it!
