[olug] VMWare on a laptop

[Bob McCoy]

I had run VMWare for about a year and a half on a Compaq M700 (600 MHz
w/512 Meg of memory, XP Pro as the host OS).  It ran fine.  Of course I
wanted to run 3 VMs simultaneously, at which point things began to
crawl.  Running on an Evo now with a Gig of memory and it makes a major
difference (well, that and a faster CPU).  But for one VM, shouldn't be
a problem.

Your mileage may vary.

Anyone want to share their experiences running vmware on a laptop? I've
got a 
pIII-500 w/ 512MB.  I want to load another linux image and a couple of
M$ 
images.  Goal: light dev but mainly for demonstrations for clients.
