virtual guests memory space

Post by DR-Design-Development »

I inserted three window guests. When I enter in the windows system inside the virtual machine I see that it has 125GB of virtual memory, but in the settings I see its actual size is 10-20GB depending on which system. I don't have so much space in my computer so I would really like to know what is really stored on my computer. Could you let me know what is the real memeory that is affecting my memory storage of my macbook?

Why are you posting a question about Windows guests in the Mac OS X Server guests forum?

Moved to "Windows Guests".

From the problem description I also suspect there's a confusion taking place between RAM and disk storage, and in the latter - the difference between disk capacity and current allocation. However English is clearly not the OPs first language, so explaining these things might be tricky. If the OP suggests a language then perhaps another volunteer can help him.
