Hi Guys,

I have a sony vaio laptop with the following config:

OS: Win 7 Pro
Ram: 6 GB
HDD: 650 GB
Processor: i7-2640M @ 2.8 GHZ

I have installed Windows XP using Microsoft Virtual PC. I run three programs in XP Mode and a couple of programs in Windows 7. I have allotted 1.5 GB Ram to XP mode.

In the xp mode the performance is very slow. At times even opening my computer and navigating to a folder takes a while.

Is there anything I can do to speed things up? Can I overclock my laptop also?

Please advice.

Thank you,

Cheers,
Jack

You won't be able to overclock your system, most OEM laptop vendors do not have any options for it. Not only that, it will not help much with the slowness, it's an issue with the virtual XP setup. http://www.aspdeveloper.net/Virtual_PC/rn-739-34609_Windows_XP_runs_dog_slow_on_Virtual_PC.aspx

You may want to try a different program for the virtual setup.
