Well, the AMD device is 100 Mbs, while the Intel device is 1000 Mbs, so you can't compare them. Since NICs work at a limited speed (very much slower than any modern disk drive, even at 1000 Mbs), I don't know why you are seeing those numbers. My guess is that you do not have a good setup. You also need to remember to mark virtual disk drives as being SSD, in the VM, or VBox will insert seek delays. It doesn't matter what the real disk is. >>thanks > >i've tried an old eCS2.2b guest on VMware hypervisor ESX 6.5 running on >the same hardware > >i get about 20MegaBytes/sec ftp datarates... >same eCS 2.2b on vbox i get 4,5MegaBytes/sec ftp datarates... > >(not talking that with Vbox i can't autostart VMs at boot) There is a way, but I don't remember how. I am sure it is in the docs somewhere. >if i find a free sw for live bkups of VMs under ESX >i will go with ESX has hypervisor > >massimo From the little that I know about ESX, it does not virtualize a machine. It shares a real machine with more than one operating system. If it works, use it. I still think you have a bad setup in VBox, but I don't have the time to try to figure it out. There was a post, some time ago, in this mail list, about how to make a modern VBox setup for OS/2 (probably eCS at the time). If you can find that, it will probably help. -- **************************** From Doug Bissett's ArcaOS system dougb007 at telus.net **************************** ...
