yes, using a very highend video card (with its drivers) is known to some time slow down hyper V host. <br />
(Alienware PCs usually have got &quot;MEGA SUPER highend&quot; video card) <br />
<br />
Perhaps some incompatibilities between video drivers version and hyperV ... Try the latest version of video drivers.<br />
<br />
also Try the SP1 of Windows 2008 R2. As it add Remote FX graphics supports to hyperV, this version of hyperv could be perharps more compatible with your alienware

Hi there,<br />
<br />
I have a new Alienware m17x R3 machine. I'm trying to install Win2008 Hyper-V on it. I can get Win2008 installed and functional, no problem. I can even &nbsp;get Hyper-V installed. However, when I install the Video Drivers (hack), all of a sudden the machien slows to a crawl. I'm sure there is a conflict some where with the video and the hyper-v drivers some where. <br />
<br />
I was wondering if anyone was able to get the Alienware up and running with all t he drivers configured and Hyper-V functional.<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
<br />

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
