Hello everybody,
I have a question regarding Windows Vista 64 on a Macbook with Mac OSX 10.5.6.. The Macbook has 4GB of RAM; therefore i decided to give 2GB to te virtual machine. But when i choose this setting there is a small hint "Some settings are not optimal". Why is it a "problem" to give 2GB to the virtual machine?
Thanks a lot
Lars

That is the default warning if you set more than half of the system RAM. If you push it too far, the Host won't have any RAM left for use. Thus the warning of non-optimal settings. You can ignore it if you have plenty of RAM.
