A case scenario, I have got a 64-bit cpu running a 64-bit Linux system. My motherboard , ASUS NVidia Nforce4 (socket939) can only support a maximum of 4GB of RAM, due to the limitations of the chipset it will equate to approx. 3.7 or 3.8 GB of RAM. A windows XP VM with basic applications & anti-spyware etc is around 6GB (as a rule of thumb), a large footprint. In order to run that VM in RAM you need to have a 64-bit cpu with a motherboard that has at least 8GB of RAM in conjunction with a Linux 64-bit operating system prior to trying see if it works. I will tell you that Linux is far superior in running 64-bit systems, windoze is asleep here.<br>
