How to set that :
In WIN7 , VMWare only fit memory to vmem file on HDD , but not physical memory ?
Use VMWare open a "2GB" "VM_XP_32bit" ,
It will create a "2GB" ***.vmem file in "G:\VMWare" .
.vmx file add:
mainMem.useNamedFile = "TRUE"
workingdir = "G:\VMWare"
========================================
In "Main_System_XP_32bit" , VMWare open a "2GB" "VM_XP_32bit" ,
in Process Explorer you can see :
vmware-vmx.exe use about 250MB memory(Working Set) .
So in "Main_System_XP_32bit" , VMWare open a "2GB" "VM_XP_32bit" ,
it only fit 2GB memory to vmem file , but not physical memory .
========================================
In "Main_System_WIN7_64bit" , VMWare open a "2GB" "VM_XP_32bit" ,
in Process Explorer you can see :
vmware-vmx.exe use more than 2.3GB memory(Working Set) .
So in "Main_System_WIN7_64bit" , VMWare open a "2GB" "VM_XP_32bit" ,
it fit 2GB memory to vmem file , and use 2GB physical memory on the same time .
========================================
Now a question :
So in "Main_System_WIN7_64bit" , how to set that :
it fit 2GB memory to vmem file , and do not use physical memory on the same time ??????

Which version of VMware Workstation are you running? And is the "Main_System_WIN7_64bit" the host operating system on physical machine? And what is "Main_System_XP_32bit"? Thanks!
Nice. Question is so bizarre. Interested in the reason / applicaton.
