When I run 2 VMs with 2GB of memory each, one will crash within a few minutes.
If I run 1 VM with 2GB and one with 1GB, it has crashed once.
If if run the second one with 512MB, it hasn't crashed yet.
Host is running Windows 7 Professional 64bit SP1, with 8GB of memory, and Workstation memory limit is set to 6GB with allow most virtual machine memory to be swapped.
Guest OS's are Windows 2003 Server R2 SP2.

You now have prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "25" in config.ini
Trz to lower the value to 10 or 5
Thanks, but that made it worse
