Initially I have a 4G ran running and I think it’s going to fully utilize soon. Am I crazy?
I’m actually running Vista x64 with service pack 1 and VMware Workstation 6.x.
Beside this, I have 2 x VMware ESX 3.x, OpenFiler(iSCSI storage), 2 x Windows 2003(one for VMware license server and another one for Virtual Center) running on top of my VMware Workstation 6.x. Again I have SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 & 10, Ubuntu 8.04 beta, Windows Server 2008, Windows XP Professional running in my VMware ESX server. Look, high demand right?
Mostly this is my development and production(so called) desktop for my personal interest, testing, R&D.
If you would like to have the similar setup like me, please remember to split your virtual guest and host into different hard disk. The bottle neck is on hard disk, hdd read and write input output may slow down performance. Just my personal tips

How’s 64 bit OS right now? Does it still have compatibility issues and driver problems?
I have always wanted to hop over, but still skeptical.

Any speed difference between 8GB and 4GB?

Fird, it’s working fine so far. What is your problem?
April 8th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
Nah, I didn’t try 64bit yet. Just a bit unsure because I have read about many issues on 64 bit OSes (typically Drivers).
Just wondering, can we still install 32bit apps?

Fird, Windows Vista should have most of the latest drivers but some of the applications may not work. Such as Cisco VPN client.
