Re: [TCLUG:4781] vmware

[Nate Carlson <natecars@infiniteloop.com>]

I've tried Photoshop and IE, and that's it for now. Both run great. Oh,
one note to anyone who tries it: make _sure_ that the allocated memory for
the guest os is less than the amount of real memory you have free. I tried
running a Win98 session with 64mb allocated to it, when I only had about
48mb of physical ram free, it crawled. Then I closed Netscape (therefore
freeing some ram), and boom, the virtual session picked up. (If you didn't
catch the last message, this is on a P2-266 with 128mb; all SCSI, using
virtual partitions)
