I've been investigating using vmware player,  with xp being built
using trial version of vmworkstation for artists who only want a
windows machine for photoshop.   These are huge files they dealing
with (500MB to 1.5GB and more than one at a time) with and so far all
is going well! They do run on quite beafy machines though.

With the workstation version you san set cpu affinity and you can
limit the amount of memory the guest os has available (all versions).

ESX version may be more what you want as it doesnt require guest OS
(not sure how much it costs though)
