I think maybe there is a misunderstanding of what's going on (a detailed process list with memory should show this). You have limited what physical ram (3072) can be dumped into vmm's, and have left 1G for the host services and OS. 1G is not enough obviously :)

All went well, with one problem. Despite the fact that Vmware is set to only use only 3072MB of ram, it continues to use ALL the available memory on the server bringing it to a crawl. We are running the latest release of Vmware server 2. I have included my config.ini below. Anyone have any ideas?
