Keep in mind you need processing power for each VM you have running. VMware more or less dedicates processing power and memory to each VM. So if you have 2 166 VM's on a 333 machine, you have no processing power left for your host OS. I've pulled up a 166 VM running NT4, and even that brings Linux (host os) to a near stand still on this P2/350. -- \\\|/// \\ - - // ( @ @ ) ----oOOo--(_)-oOOo------------------------------------------- Andy Zbikowski, Sys Admin | http://www.ltiflex.com LTI Flexible Products, Inc. | "Reality is merely an illusion, 21801 Industrial Blvd | albeit a very persistent one."
