hey there folks,
use these softwares school quite bit, not "power user" means. no big simulations; write code whenever need repetitive calculations , mess around student ansys has 10,000 node maximum anyway.
getting pretty tired of dual booting. thinking kind of usage, using vm ware sufficient, hoping chime in. if user of these softwares well. think going give 30 day trial shot.
ask questions using vm don't know it. hear, need allocate memory , % processor vm or something.
here general (and quite newb-like) questions:
1) how decide how memory , cpu dedicate vm?
2) if dedicate 2gb ram vm , not using vm capacity, instead utilizing 1gb of ram in vm, other 1gb available osx?
3) if vm not open @ (i.e. app closed), ram have allocated vm available osx?
4) battery life better running windows in vm running on bootcamp?
5) have heard of people using both bootcamp , vm have option of using bootcamp if performance hike needed... how accomplished? need 2 licenses windows (legally)?
sorry if these sound stupid, little late age of technology, engineering student need catch fast!
thanks!
depends on mac , doing in both oses. start low 1 core, 1gb , increase if need more performance in windows, stop before start degrading os x performance when has start paging out hdd.
no.
yes.
probably not, since running os x @ same time. though seem guest vm's power management pretty decent.
no. parallels , vmware treat how windows laptop treats docking station. 2 hardware configurations of 1 machine. may have call ms both activated, once activated things go smoothly. if want avoid activation issues, don't use oem license restrictive kind. since engineering student should have access msdnaa, no?
performance better though dedicated vm.
edit: btw matlab works great in os x, prefer on windows version of time. can student version of it?
