On Server you can delegate either a single chunk of memory to be used be all vm's or allocate a specific amount to each vm. But it won't allow the oversubscription of memory. You can of course oversubscribe your processor by simply running to many simultaneous vm's. VMware specifically recommends against running db/webservers that will be transactionally intensive as they cause dramatic performance problems for all vm's on the same physical server. (I have witnessed this, it is actually quite impressive) With ESX you can also allocate processor limits. On 12/13/06, keith smith wrote: > > So you have my curiosity.
