May 04, 2003Virtual emulation dreamsArcterex recently has had the luxury of playing with Macs again and looks like he is falling in love. I am already there, but just can't afford one. I could justify it if I was developing on it... but I am not... yet. Has me thinking though. I spend a great deal of time developing on an Athalon 900 with 512 megs of ram, using VMWare as a test platform which I give just over 200 megs to. This is mostly because most of my code now adays is kernel level ring0 code which easily can crash/lock up the system, which makes an emulator that much nicer. I wonder if I could still do my Windows development while on a PowerBook if I fed Virtual PC my environment and tested that way. Theory is, I would be doing nothing different, hold that to my dev envrionment actually being the test environment as well. Might not sound as bad as you think. I just wonder how stable and fast Virtual PC is, and if I fed it 256 megs of ram, how comfortable I would be developing in it. Wonder how far I could take that.... maybe even further. 1GB/ram OSX -> 512M/ram XP through Virtual PC -> 225/ram XP through VMWare. Theory is.. thats exactly my system now (without OSX of course). Wonder if you can emulate that deep. *shutter* Anyone know if this is possible? Posted by SilverStr at May 4, 2003 08:53 PMComments
I do have a copy of virtual pc here, but only really have run dos on it (installed by default). Not that I could emulate much with this little box here of course :) Posted by: Arcterex at May 5, 2003 07:34 AM |
