Hello I am trying to debunk the potential issues as to why running PastPerfect 4.0 on a Mac OS X El Capitan through VMware Fusion 7 isn't as fast as I'd like for workflow. My Mac Specs are:
El Capitan Version: 10.11.2
Processor: 3.5GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Startup Disk Macintosh HD
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB
VMWare reads Ethernet Speed at 1.0 Gbps.
As far as connection speed goes I believe there shouldn't be an issue, but I could be wrong. If the softclient version would be better (online version) through the Mac OS then I may suggest going through with that instead. I've done some research and they say updating to VMWare Fusion 8 (the latest one I believe) would resolve any slow issues with Windows 7. However, I am unsure whether or not PastPerfect 4.0 could be the cause in itself. There is a new version of PastPerfect (5.0) and they say it's a little faster and reliable than its predecessor. I just want to know the facts before jumping into conclusions from someone that knows their way around Macs.
