Dude that's sick. I'm truly impressed, but did you buy a copy of OSX? I really don't want to pay for the full license to run on VMware only.

i have more....just dedicated 512 to it through VMware though....

is it slow for you? It is for me and Im not to sure why..

it is right now...but i'm just gonna follow the forums until they come up with an easy solution....there are some ways to fix it now, but i can't figure out how to do them...

the reason why (at least for most people) is that the torrented VMware file is patched for SSE2 so if you have an SSE3 processor none of the SSE3 stuff is running....

I thought that is what the problem could be. I noticed it is really slow doing everything, I dont know if that is just VMware or what.. plus I cannot get my Internet to work on there.

You are going to find it pretty limited within the VM for the time being because there is no driver support for the VMWare virtual devices. Either vmware or apple would have to write the proper drivers (note that this is why you get the Vmware tools nags every now and then.)

EDIT: I think I'll join the screenshot club just for the hell of it :D
