My boyfriend is running VMWare... I haven't tried it yet... My boxes are
either straight Linux or dual boot...

But his advice is 256 megs of RAM minimum for VM Ware

I think my K6-233 would be ok but not with only 64M of ram.  VMWare
snags alot of memory and I end up doing alot of swapping.  I don't plan
on upgrading the RAM on this machine since I need a network services
server (DNS, NIS, WINS, etc.) dedicated box anyway.  I'll wait till I
get my new box built (hopefully this week) and then get 2.0 installed on
it.
