I just want a virtual machine which I can run a VPN on while I download confidential things. I think that's enough, I already made up my mind, I'm getting the Ryand 16 gigs of ddr4 2400mhz RAM.Ĭould you potentially check if you can turn on windows features for Hyper-v? Please? It doesn't let me turn it on, it says that I need to enable Virtualization in the firmware. I haven't played with VirtualBox much, I only have it installed because I was getting an error with a Linux distro I was playing with and wanted to rule out the issue was with the virtualization so I haven't touched it since but I'm willing to spin up some VMs on that also if you want me to test some specific features or functionality. Let me know, I'm open to requests and would love to find a good way to benchmark VM performance since that's the main reason I upgraded to Ryzen 7. If you have specific programs you want me to test or any specific tasks you'd like me to run I'd be happy to test them for you, I could even record the tests if that would help anybody else.

I cloned the VM and gave each VM 2 cores and 4GB of RAM and ran Prime95 to max out the CPUs and while they were running in the background I did some normal work for a few minutes on my PC and didn't notice any slowness while doing my normal tasks.Īgain, I didn't go too in depth with the testing because I don't know the best approach.


#Ryzen virtualbox 64 bit how to
I wasn't sure exactly how to benchmark a VM so I just built a Windows 7 VM (Home Premium since it was the only ISO I had available) in VMware Workstation, gave it access to all 8 cores/16 threads and 8GB of RAM instead of the 16GB I have installed, then ran Cinebench R15 to see how it performed compared to the PC to see if there was an issues and how much overhead there was from the virtualization and the score was less than 200 points different than the score I got on the PC itself which is pretty impressive. How does it perform with a Windows 7 VM and some CPU and RAM heavy program?īy the way, how much RAM should I throw into my build? And how fast?
