using Socket 478 based Pentium 4(2.8Ghz) running 2Gb RAM and WinXP Pro as the underlying OS i am able to run 2 Windows 2000 Pro Systems with very little Processor hit, I usually run around 7% CPU utilization and hit approx 50% RAM usage. With the minimize to the tray option I dont even realize these are running half the time. p.s the VM's in question are only allocated 256Mb RAM each, and performance in each window is very snappy

of course this is pertinent, Slashdot is losing its vision, and has to look at stories over and over again to keep from forgetting them, or is this just your first day here.... no wait UID too low... what is your excuse ;)

hmm
  captcha = speech
how ironic

fine, i accept your analysis, however i have based this on your UID and not the content of your message :D

is this an indication that all ISP's in the country are full of boardmembers making over 500k a year? no internetsoup for you!! seriously though, I envision america's internet infrastructure to be as badly in need of repair/upgrades as their roads/water/electrical infrastructures. why the pullout? is this just so you naughty people wont pirate Britney's new tracks so fast?

apparently sub 1000000 Slashdot UID's don't hold the prestige they once did, ok so new rule, everyone with 967726 UID's or below are now the respected few , that the rest of us should look to and mod up when the situation allows :P, until they forget how to spell and start to transpose their there's :)

-not usually a spelling nazi, but...LOL come on :D
