VirtualBox and RAM

[SlimShady58]

I have no particular problem but I do have some questions.

I have an old gaming motherboard from 2001 which was only able to support 2.0 GB RAM. If I reach 2.0 GB BIOS will start to crash so I went ahead with 1.5 GB.

So far, I have made 2 Virtual Machines in the ff. order:

1. Windows XP SP3 (600 MB RAM - 10 GB Hard Disk Space - Dynamically Expanding)
2. Windows 95 C (256 MB RAM - 2 GB Hard Disk - Dynamically Expanding)

My questions are, can I make another VM similar to Windows 95's settings? Won't it eat up my system resources?

The number of different VMs you create makes no difference, assuming you have plenty disk space, and assuming you don't try to run multiple VMs at the same time.

I would ditch the Win95 VM unless you have a particular reason for needing it. Win95 does not make good VM material.

Thanks, I agree with you it was a serious pain setting it up as most of the files are not even on the retail cd (mostly TCP/IP files) but I do it because I'm testing how far this would go I'm on Windows 3.1 and its working good (No Sounds & Networking though).

If you must have a Win9x VM, I would go with Win98SE - which is basically Win95 and Win98 but with lots of bugs fixed. However Win98SE is still not supported (no GAs).
