Mike The "Guest" OS is the Windows configuration. The "Host" is Mac OS in this case. In other words the OS you boot into is the host and your virtual machines are the guests.
As for your question about more memory. If you upgraded to 8GB for instance, and then opted to allocate 5 or 6 GB to Windows, that would be perfectly alright. The 50% advice is just what's commonly known as "playing it safe". But in the real world, you can get away with much more than that.

I understand that the windows is off topic but my question is if I have 4 gb of memory, what should or how should I set the memory? I saw someone say guest should be 1 gb. When you say guest is that mac or when I configure and it asks me on vm fusion that I should allocate 1 gb? Thanks for the help. <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to [email protected] You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/>.
