| | How does Memory allocation in VPC 2007 64bit on 64bit OS work? I am considering building a new system and I'm trying to put together specs. I'm inclined to build a system with Intel Quad Core with either XP Pro 64 or Vista 64 and 8GB RAM. I want to run multiple VMs in VPC. Since VPC 2007 has a 64 bit version, will it access all available memory for allocation to guest OSs? For example, can I put 8GB RAM in the host machine, run 4-32bit guest OSs with 1.5GB allocated to each? I know each 32bit OS could use the 1.5GB of memory, but that would hinge of VPC 2007 using a total of 6GB of RAM to distribute out to the VM's. Will this work? I have some stuff that could really benefit from giving the guest OS's at least 1GB of RAM and I would like to have them all running at times, while still allowing a good bit of RAM to stay open to the host OS. The only way I can see how to do that is with more than 4GB of RAM - thus the whole 64 bit route. Thanks in adavance! Andrew |
