Solve : Virtual Bandwidth Virtual PC 2007 & Virtual Network Communicat

1.	Solve : Virtual Bandwidth Virtual PC 2007 & Virtual Network Communications?
Answer» I was wondering if anyone knew if the speed between one Virtual PC 2007 Virtual XP machine and the other on the same system hosting the virtual machines are running a truely virtual throttled down ( limited to 100mbps ) network connection or if its way faster even though it appears as though its a 100mbps network because they are not limited by physical electronic hardware that sync at those SPEEDS and so the faster the Real Physical computer components CPU, RAM, HD, the faster the virtual network communications between 2 virtual machines passing data back and FORTH on simulated networking? I suppose the best TEST would be to transfer a 100MB file from one virtual machine to the other and time it and do the math, but figured I'd check first to see if anyone knew the answer?You will not see a noticeable difference at 100M bps. The CPU can transfer data to the RAM at a speed much, much HIGHER than that. Even when crippled. Quote I suppose the best test would be to transfer a 100MB file from one virtual machine to the other and time it and do the math, but figured I'd check first to see if anyone knew the answer? See my attachment. Use the LAN_SpeedTest.exe to test it. The other stuff in there is just another speed test program. For that one, you just START the server on one comp and the client on the other to test the connection. But try the lan_speedtest one first bc it's easier. Oh yeah, and I think you have to use a network share to test the first one, but i assume you know how to do that. [regaining space - attachment deleted by admin]Thanks I'll give that a try, and network share is dirt simple =)
