I remembered making the same changes to virtual machine RAM, and I was reading through the VPC help files and found that allocating more RAM may actually slow the virtual machine and possibly make it unusable. The same applies to VRAM. It's their product, and I'm not attempting to use VPC for anything strenuous, so I'm back to default settings and running acceptably. Sometimes less is more?
It's interesting that VirtualPC will not even LET you assign more than 512 MB to it, even if you have 2GB or more of RAM attached.
It has long been my belief that Microsoft wants a *crippled* VirtualPC to exist and hasn't killed it off because it's a nice piece of change for them but will never let it be anything more than crippled because otherwise it would be a threat.
