I should have said "guests".. the host is the system itself. ( I always do that!)
I usually keep them running all the time. It is for testing purposes. Will all running, it is a little slow, but good enough for testing Off the top of my head.. I have 512MB devoted to Windows XP, 1GB to Windows 7, 2GB each for the servers. I have the primary OS on a separate HD. The six guest VHD are on a second hard drive. -----Original Message----- From: Scott Raley [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2011 12:39 PM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: RE: virtual machines How many hosts do you typically run at one time? -----Original Message----- From: Jacob [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2011 3:01 PM To: cf-community Subject: RE: virtual machines VMWare I am running it on a 64bit machine with 16GB RAM.

I've got 5 dev laptops that I'm going to wipe because I'm tired of spinning around all day while testing software since some is production, some are new betas etc and they can't exist on the same machine. Well some can but then I have to keep track of ports being used by each piece to not cause conflicts. I just got a brand new 64 bit laptop with 6gig of memory and want to setup a machine that can do virtual machines so if its ubuntu like everyone talks about I can run two windows 7 sessions if I need to or a windows server and xp session or whatever combination. I know one vendor I'm working with is using VMWare to do this and told me to get that.
