yeah, I don't reccomend VMWare for any serious use without 512MB of ram.
And that is running with 1 virtual machine with 96MB of ram allocated to
it. 2 virtual machines is possible but things slow down somewhat. 256MB
of system ram is barely usable in my opinion with a virtual machine that
has 96MB of ram allocated to it(for me anything under 96MB is unusable)
it is quite entertaining to see 4 virtual machines running at the
same time on my afterstep desktop though! 5 OSs on 1 cpu!(1gb ram)
