Re: vmware v/s virtual server

And to re-iterate KJs point. Memory, memory and then some. That is all you
need. If you want a bunch of servers up and running get as much RAM as you
can. I run four - seven servers (depending on OS) on my 1.5GB RAM Athlon
system.

Also adding a disk or two can be good; IDE disks tend to suffer a lot when many processes heavily access different file simultaneously... I found this to be a big bottleneck when running three or four VMs on the same disk, by using two disks and dividing some virtual disk files from the others it got *really* faster.
