| | How to decrease p4 speed to a 486 level? In my Win3.1 vm, screen savers run extremely fast. Is there a way to reduce its speed to match an old 486 machine? Thanks Jack |

Obviously they aren't going to save the "screen" from burning in an image. They don't save power. And the screen saver you are using for your host OS is what gives you the lockout security for your host. If you are, say, allowing remote access to the VMs and are somehow thinking that a screen saver provides security, why are you wasting CPU cycles running a screen saver that has to compute an ever-changing screen? Just use the black screen saver. It runs at the same speed all the time: just a black screen all the time. During the VM's bootup and hitting Del to go into its BIOS, you will see there are no settings for changing the clock or multiplier on the CPU. |
