Tu su tuning tipy pre vyladenie Windows 7 pre VMware View 4.5:

So without further introduction here is my list!

* Create VM
* Attach drive to another VM and create a disk partition that it is aligned. Yes still do this if you are using NFS. Storage VMotion and proper tiering mean we need to plan on the VM being different places. (don’t format or anything else just use diskpart to create the volume)
o Diskpart select disk 1
o Diskpart create partition align=64
* Set Virtual Video Card RAM to 128Meg (edit the properties of the VM)
