How many guest OS on my laptop

[summer999]

I've got a new HP nc6400 laptop dual core 2.0Ghz 1Gb RAM 80 Gb HD

I can only run one v.6.0 W2003 Server guest os - running 2 kills the laptop

If I upgrade to 4gb do u reckonI can get 3 up !!

Or will I have to spend some money on a server - its only for my own testing.........

The number of VM's you can run depends on the resources they require.

How much memory are you allocating to the VM's?

Do you have enough memory left over to run the host OS?

Did you turn off/adjust the power management on your Laptop, so that the CPU is running at Max speed?

Wow - you're right I was using the default memory settings of 384 MB per machine- now I've reduced it to 128 MB - I can get 3 up at the same time

Thanx

I increased the RAM in my laptop from 1 GB to 2 GB and can now run 3 or 4 guests at a time instead of just 1.
