Re: [CentOS] VMware restricting to 3GB RAM
Host has 128GB RAM and its running CentOS 5.4 64 bit architect, Guest is 64 bit ubuntu 12.04, VMware Player I am using is 6.1 @Luigi- I have seen this thread and I have a Q around this. How do I know what hardware(e.g. 10/9/8) do I have?

Re: [CentOS] VMware restricting to 3GB RAM
Hi All, Thanks for your comments. Finally figured out the way. Upgrading VMwaretools did the trick.
