> VMs are so cool.

Yeah but you need a gigabyte of RAM for each concurrent one, realistically.

Nah--I run W2k on a 256M VM, along with another Linux VM using only 512M of RAM. I run both of these and my host OS on a 1GB laptop.

Depends on what the server does, I have some ldap servers which are only taking 256MB of physical memory away from the hosts.

With ESX there is very little overhead to the VM's..
