Hmm, and it doesn't seem to quote properly either... as if I care ... :-))

My work machine (for it is that which has it on) is a PIII/733 Coppermine with 256Mb RAM (I want a RAM upgrade soon :-). W2KPro doesn't seem to run as fast as it ought to on my machine, but I'm not really sure that's much to do with VMware - I would expect any real differences to be in the video drivers, to be honest. I currently have an untuned Xfree r4 on a RH 6 install, and I believe my graphics card is a Riva TNT or something (s'been so long since a reboot!!), so chances are there are better drivers than the ones I'm using for it. I run VMware in a Window, also, which isn't going to help I shouldn't think (question of the day: why can't I run VMware full-screen on one X server, and switch between full-screen modes with ctrl-alt-f*? Has anyone got this going? I would imagine it would be an obviously vmware utility to write...)

Cheers,

Alex.
