Hi all. I’m currently reverting back to my old HP Touchsmart pc from (AROUND) 2011, that seems to actually work just fine… Running on 6GB! Does anyone know if I should add a VM to this? Or is 6GB not good enough! Still new to known scambaiting tools lol and the following required/recommended/minimu…

An important factor to remember is not to give too much RAM for the virtual machines. The host needs some to function well, too. An example: you have 4 GB of RAM, assigning 512 MB of it to your vm. The host has enough to run smoothly but the vm might seem a bit sluggish. Increasing the vm RAM to 1 …

Noted, thank you for the help! How much would you recommend I give to a VM if Host (me ofc) is running on 6GB on the main pc? And what VM software would you recommend?

Assuming that you’re running Win10 64bit, 2GB of RAM would be fine, with the other 2GB allocated to the VM. There are a couple of VM’s on BoB, but I use Modder Paul Huckers ( Twitch ) setup. I recommend watching some of his streams as you’ll pick up many tricks. Ray put in lots of work on it. Here…

Ty. I’m running a Windows 7 Home Premium X64 atm at least, like I said reverted back to my OLD pc (hence the title is UPDATE if you’d see one of my previous ones), working well fine actually although it’s pretty old ngl damn lol. Couldn’t get the free windows 10 upgrade smh, expired last year.

Win7 is what I use too on a refurbished Dell tower that a friend was going to trash. Stuck 12 gigs of RAM in it along with a new PS & battery. Technically, Win10 uses more RAM, but uses it more efficiently due to its ability to cache it. You’ll be just fine with 7.

Noted, how much ram then should I put on the VM? What do you suggest? Or does it depend on the software itself?

I would think 2Gigs would be plenty. Start playing with it when you get it installed and see how it runs. If you go on Rays stream you can always ask him in the chat box. He’s very helpful and comes on here periodically.

[immagine] MehNamesJeff: Ty for the help! :+1: That’s what do here!

Quick question. Say I no longer needed the VM/Wanted to change the RAM. I’m assuming there’s a setting option available somewhere in the VM, correct?
