I've had and have run VMWare for about a year and a half and am not
satisfied with it... I upgraded my Linux OS and now VMWare will not
even load because I'm running dual processor and it cannot cope with the
64GB memory configuration...

The sound thrashed between the processors... I'll take another look at
it some time later.

BTW, does anyone know how to "lock" a process in to a specfic processor
on a multi processor machine?
