I'm currently using it with three virtual machines running win2k Pro. I 
have not pushed it very hard yet, but will be over the next few months. 
So far I cannot say that I have seen any slowing of VMWare or of the 
virtual machines running within the setup. I forget exactly how much ram 
is designated for each of the machines but I'm using as large as I was 
able to and get the machines to 'boot'. VMWare will refuse to boot a new 
virtual machine if the ram will exceed 1g.
