AMD A10 5700 using 1 core / 2gb Ram and seems to be fine as far as the system itself goes, its smooth in VM. File transfer does have some odd behavior. First time I copied from a shared folder to the VM and it froze the VM for about 30 seconds while "calculating" the transfer. It would speed up and then drop to 350kb/sec then speed up again. Finally it just stopped transferring at 80%. I ran windows update and updated 8.1, rebooted and tried again. It was faster this time, but still froze for a few seconds, but it did complete the transfer this time. I also did a transfer with homegroup, and that too had some trouble moving the data. Short of the data transfer from host to guest, the guest system itself is running as smoothly as the host with low cpu utilization and expected ram consumption.
Could one of you be kind enough to post the W8.1 Nvidia driver that's only seen for download if you're running Windows 8.1 Release Preview. It's version 326.01 WHQL . A bunch of us on guru3d, overclock dot net would appreciate it! Sorry to hijack the thread for a second!
It seems everybody's been taken for a ride again with all this 8.1 hoopla. Why the need to reinstall apps after upgrade??? What kind of schmucks they think we are. Come on now! Enough is enough??!@#
First big bug I found. I can't pin to start any exe from Explorer. I need to copy path of the file and paste it in the Search Charm.
Better is clean install because you can add more registry garbage from previous Windows installation,garbage who can remain in the new OS installed,aka Windows 8.1
