| | VS 2005 R2 on 64-bit Question Hi, Right now we are running VS 2005 R2 on a 64-bit box but with Windows 2003 in 32-bit mode. Each of our images is limited to 3.6 gb of RAM (some are running Windows Enterprise, some Windows Standard). If we reinstall the host OS to be Windows 2003 in 64-bit mode, will that allow us to allocate more memory to each virtual image? Alan |

| | Re: VS 2005 R2 on 64-bit Question We have thought about Server 2008 and Hyper-V but occassionally the images we create need to be taken to a client (rather than just used in our office or hit via VPN) and we need to be able to run them on a laptop and external hard-drive. We can move freely from VS to VPC today and only have to be aware of reduced memory when running under VPC. I know you can move an image from VS to Hyper-V, but can you move it back again?
