Are you able to allocate more than two GB of RAM for a given virtual machine on that Mac Pro?

Hi Sara,I am using Windows xp pro. Yes, I've tried 2gb and 1 processor as well although the processor shouldn't make a difference as I have 8 cor on this mac pro smile. I just came back from a trip away where I had to use my Mac mini and Jaws was so awful for what I wanted to do I took it off and put Wineyes on. It worked great then. Having said that, if people are having good success with jaws in their virtual machines then great stuff. I know that I wouldn't touch jaws in a vm again. It's been good as I've had to learn Wineyes and it's not that bad. I hope though that wineyes 7 will workok in a vm. -----Original Message----- From: macvoiceover-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:macvoiceover-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sara Sent: Tuesday, 20 May 2008 8:34 AM To: macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: Fusuon and JawsHi there. Hmmm, that's too bad. I don't know anymore ideas...oh wait, which windows are you using? I've had terrible problems with sluggish speech from vista because of bad sound drivers which made me give up vista...but I hadthem with Window-Eyes so that's probably not it... Did you try it with 2gb and 1processor?

Mind you, wineyes had no probs both using 2 or 4gb. The version ofjaws I'm using is 9. -----Original Message----- From: macvoiceover-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:macvoiceover-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sara Sent: Tuesday, 20 May 2008 3:44 AM To: macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: Fusuon and JawsI'm only guessing here and totally don't know what I'm talking about, but I'd actually suggest trying 2gb ram. I heard or read somewhere that 32-bit os's can't really use 4gb anyway. Don't know if this could cause troublebutmaybe worth a try in a test virtual machine? Also, the version of jawsmight affect it?I love and have both but sometimes it's a matter of what people boughtfirst and can afford etc. Sara ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Truong" <bnfiles@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, May 19, 2008 12:06 PM Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: Fusuon and JawsHI,Sure people are using Jaws in fusion. But there is a difference to using Jaws and actually doing something meaningful with it. I mean Jaws works fine for me if all I want to do is wander around the screen and type afewdocuments in notepad etc etc. But audio work and using apps that put aloadon the processor is not a goer for me. Don't get me wrong, I love Jawsandwould be the last to say it didn't work for me cause I'm not a fan of Wineyes usually but I can only tell as I see it smile. If Jaws works for you then fine. Oh yes, and I am running fusion on a mac pro with 8 gbramtwo 2.8 4 cor processors. My VM is configured to use 2 processors buthaverun it in a vm that has 1 processor. It is configured to use 4GB Ram.YeahI think if Jaws was going to work that'd be enough power for it? Oh yes,I have all of my VMS in full screen. -----Original Message----- -----Original Message----- From: macvoiceover-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:macvoiceover-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ray Hazan Sent: Monday, 19 May 2008 11:59 PM To: macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: Fusuon and Jaws David et al,Jaws is fine with Fusion. I discovered I needed to be in full screen,so problem solved. Ray On 19 May 2008, at 13:43, David Truong wrote: Hi,Advise what? It's a pretty broad question. Personally I wouldn't worry about Jaws under fusion. I think Window Eyes works the best in a fusion virtual machine. For me, Jaws ran very slow and when intense activitywas taking place, the eloquence of Jaws stuttered and became distorted. Also, Jaws crashed a bit as well. I have had none of these problems using Wineyes. -----Original Message----- From: macvoiceover-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:macvoiceover-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ray Hazan Sent: Monday, 19 May 2008 8:01 PM To: macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [macvoiceover] Fusuon and Jaws Hi, Can anyone please advise?
