You can try e1000, but do not forget to use the latest drives from Intel.

I have just upgraded from VMware Server 1.0.x
My host machine is an intel quad core 2.4Ghz with 4GB RAM, running Vista Home Premium.
This machine doesn't do anything other than host the virtual machines.

Since upgrading, i've noticed the network connection speed of all the VM's has reduced dramatically.
Copying a file of approx 150MB from the host to the guest is impossible.
I gave up after 30 minutes of apparently no progress.
If i switch to host only, i can copy the file in literally seconds.

The performance problems aren't limited to communicating with the host, but also the other VM's.
Having search through a few of the forums, I can see that a lot of people have had similar issues with VM Server 2, but usually only with Linux hosts.
As such, I can't perform the same fixes.
