[TriLUG] VMware question

My home desktop is an ASUS with full Intel compliment. I went with them
because they were the ONLY ones at the time that were full Intel, but not
made by Intel. Kinda weird but true.

ASUS makes good M/B's. They also make Intel and AMD M/B's. This is my quirk.
I don't want to use a controller that's not Intel for an Intel chip or not
AMD for an AMD chip. Just me.

alright.  i'm a believer.  time to go motherboard shopping to get over my
512 MB limitation.  let's see.  i've never had any issues running 512 MB per
os.  hmmm.  8*512MB=4 GB.  that's a lot of ram.  who makes a good
motherboard with everything integrated into the same backplane that will
handle that much memory?

Exactly. You can remove the directory and load it if you need it from the
CD. Takes longer, but if you are like me and have everything under the sun
loaded, so you can test software and you have only 20GB, you can remove the
OS' you are not using and replace them as needed.

Another alternative that I use is you can zip the vmware directories,
usually ~/vmware/win-version and put them on a CD-RW. I use that as a backup
to my backup. :)
