| | a tip for virtual machines VMware SERVER (free) uses ALL cores of your CPU, while virtual PC 2007 uses only a single core. I read about this here: http://www.istartedsomething.com/200...-vs-parallels/ Dont confuse this with "vmware desktop" that is not free... vmware server is very similar and can be used by anyone and is also free just thought I would give this information since lots of people want to run XP inside a virtual machine... Or XP users might want to use vista on a virtual machine... get vmware server www.vmware.com |

The term virtual is popular among computer scientists and is used in a wide variety of situations. In general, it distinguishes something that is merely conceptual from something that has physical reality. For example, virtual memory refers to an imaginary set of locations, or addresses, where you can store data. It is imaginary in the sense that the memory area is not the same as the real physical memory composed of transistors. The difference is a bit like the difference between an architect's plans for a house and the actual house. A computer scientist might call the plans a virtual house. Another analogy is the difference between the brain and the mind. The mind is a virtual brain. It exists conceptually, but the actual physical matter is the brain. |
