Network

VPSLink is in Seattle, inside Spry’s own data centre. Network performance has been great around the clock, and there has not been any downtime that has been detected (polling at 5 minutes interval).

But you know what is good about hosting in Seattle? Three words — Amazon Web Services. Amazon is also in Seattle, and if you are a heavy user of services like Amazon S3, or want a static IP front-end for your fleet of Amazon EC2 slaves, the latency and bandwidth between your servers and Amazon can make a huge difference.

Check out these benchmarks.

Question by liteswitch: Is it possible to install Mac OSX v10.5.4 on a pc based machine, in a dual boot configuration with Vista ?
I would like to use a Dell Inspiron 530s intel pentium dual core, is it possible . I am presently Using Vista as the host and Solaris as the guest in Virtual box on the Dell 530s
any idea?

Best answer:

Answer by Nathan E
The E2160 Processor is not compatible with OS X. You would need at least an Intel Core 2 Duo (E8000 series)

As a side note, 10.5.4 is dated at this point. 10.5.5 is the most recent release.

Question by godlike_kira: Is it still possible to enable Aero in Virtual PC – for XP users – by other means?
here’s my scenario. my laptop has Windows XP Pro SP2 as the host OS and just started to install Windows 7 on Virtual PC 2007. after i finished the setup and everything, i was wondering why Aero was disabled.

my specifications:
2040MB (2.0 GB) RAM
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo CPU T5750 2.00 GHz
256MB RAM video card

i think my hardware is surely also optimized for Vista and its Aero.

i’ve read in many blogs that having XP as the host is a downright drawback in enabling Aero in any VM, and for RDCs it requires a Vista host which is Aero-capable, aside from that accdg to many, hardware in VMs isn’t sufficient to run Aero features.

so is it still possible to enable Aero in VMs (i am using VPC 2007) for XP users by other means? —like recognizing and linking the host’s hardware resources to the virtual hardware to possibly enable Aero? (just a speculation.)

…or is there none as of the moment?

thanks in advance.

Unfortunately Virtual PC 2007 doesn’t support the necessary 3D requirements to run Aero.

The only VM product that I’m aware of having any 3D support is VMWare Workstation (http://www.vmware.com/products/ws/new.html)

This might put some light on things: http://cybernetnews.com/2007/04/19/cybernotes-getting-aero-to-work-with-vista-on-virtual-pc-or-vmware/

cheers for that reply anyways
(….runs off to change all connections to bridged – my router is going to love this … 10 extra ip’s to hand out now!! haha…)

Answer by jugsimalone
off course you can, you can build a whole virtual lab housed on one physcial server – if its VM then its easy just to bridge all connections so all virtual pcs can use the physical ip range and get out on the tinternet for things like windows updates etc
