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.
