jondercik Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 no its not even close. To start a virtual machine VMware allocates whatever amount you chose to give the guest OS from your current physical RAM. If you machine only has 246(?) MB of ram, there is no way to start up anything but a DOS host OS without running out of memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakeem5454 Posted June 23, 2005 Author Share Posted June 23, 2005 so how much more ram do i need to buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Soul Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 id boost it to 512 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 512MB will do the trick for basic UACD testing. If you're actually going to use the VM as a computer (i.e. bring it to full screen and expect some speed) I'd get 1GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
