My first VMWare experiment was a flop.  Install was on a 1.1 Gig

Result was very slooooooooooooooow win2k on a slow mdk 9.1.

I need kde or there's no point trying to migrate.

I panicked and reinstalled win2k.

So, any input would be appreciated.  More memory?  Faster cpu? All
of the above? Any other suggestions.
My laptop is running fine with the same software configuration but
2.0 Gig w/256meg ddr.  I love it.  It's like having Bill Gates in a
Linux cage.
Any thoughts on one superbox, thin client office cheapies, and
VMWare?  Or other suggestions?

I have run VMware on a 1 gig athlon box and it has to have much more 
memory than you are running.
768 if you can or at least 512. When I ran it I tried both memory 
amounts and liked the 768 much better,
but the 512 configuratiuon  worked  O.K. just a little slow.
