Search the archives as this subject was brought up one other time, about a couple of months ago. btw, I run two VM's. One has 1.5GB of RAM and the other 768MB. My box has 6GB. Also, make sure to leave some RAM for the Host O/S. :) Cheers, -- Pablo Sanchez - Blueoak Database Engineering, Inc Ph: 819.459.1926 Fax: 760.860.5225 (US) _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list vbox-users@virtualbox.org http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
