I have a Windows 2008 32-bit Standard VM guest running on a Windows 2008 64-bit server with VMware 2.0.2 as the host. The Windows 2008 Guest VM just runs slow, taking its time to boot, and just to work with ever since creating the guest VM. Was running VMware 2.0.0 on host server and upgraded to 2.0.2 to see if it would improve which it didn't. Also installed latested VMware tools on Windows 2008 Guest server with same results. I'm running 2 other VM guest servers that run Windows 2003 and they run smooth without any performance issues. The host server has a Intel Xeon 2.33Ghz CPU with 22GB of memory. The Windows 2008 32-bit VM guest server has 3.5GB of memory allocated to it.
Has anyone had problems with performance issues on Windows 2008 32-bit VM guest servers after building them?
