RE: [expert] Re: [newbie] vmware hardware compatibility

  In all fairness, I believe that Win 2000 is recommending 64 meg of
ram and a 300Mhz pentium at a minimum.  I believe they prefer 128 meg of
ram.

  In vmware, on a 475 mhz machine, NT 4.0 boots in about a minute.
Win 2000, RC1 takes 15 minutes.  It feels like the machines I've used
where a 486 is running W95.
