Mac Forum / Applications / Virtual PC / June 2007NIC Only 10 Mbps spped
Hi all, I have a question about my VPC 7 for Mac. My host machine's NIC is 10/100 Mbps, my guest machine in VPC 7 for Mac is Windows XP SP2, and it shows only 10 Mbps speed. How can I upgrade the speed from 10Mbps to 100Mbps? I have researched some documents and they told to me this is because VPC emulate 10Mbps NIC, is it true? Does Microsoft provide any offical document related to this issue? Regards, User > Hi all, > I have a question about my VPC 7 for Mac.

Like all the design decisions on VPC (what chip they'll emulate, what graphics environment, and what USB version), this is built into the product. Since VPC for Macintosh is discontinued and a EOL'd product, you're stuck with what's there. If you upgrade to a Intel based Macintosh, you can run XP with a 100Mbps connection. Is it worth it?

The *actual* throughput should be whatever speed your physical NIC can handle. In fact, the bottleneck is more likely to be the speed of the emulated OS and application.

That is exactly correct. ----------- ---- --- -- - - - - Cheers, Steve Jain, Virtual Machine MVP http://vpc.essjae.com/ |
