Any experience with the parallel setup? (I installed Linux-side VM on my Dual Boot and blindly followed the instructions, but I haven't had enough opportunity to test it yet to see the effects you've mentioned here.) gs At 02:20 PM 7/5/00 -0500, you wrote: >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.
