Mac OS X on VMWare

OS X running in VMWare on an EliteBook 8540w (Core i7 620M) with Quadro FX 880M in power-saving (405/325 MHz), just to give an idea of what performance to expect. The VM has 1 Go of allocated memory.
XCode/iPhone simulator were not already launched since boot, but Safari was (did speed up its lauch a bit). Exposé is not hardware accelerated, thus bad performance.

Partly: it won't work with Exposé and usually in OpenGL apps. But it does a good job in accelerating the compositer (drawing, moving windows).

I don't think there are wifi drivers out for this on os x, at least not for my 8730Ws card.

Hey, if you don't mind, could you do a review for your laptop and show what it's like editing videos, because I'm thinking about getting it.

Hi were you capable to enable graphics hardware acceleration under OSX, trough Chameleon or something ?
