After some angst and gnashing of teeth, I now have vmware player v4.02
running on a Ubuntu 12.04 x64 desktop w/ 8GB of RAM. The processor
predates the virtualization chip stuff but it's a dual core. VMware
isn't keeping everything "just so" with 3.n kernel stuff yet; patches
needed.
Loaded an image of a Windows 7 32 bit system and explicitly allocated
2GB of memory to the vm. Top (on the host) quickly shot up to consuming
all 8GB of real memory and chomps on swap. Really?
So far, I like the looks of Player better than VirtualBox.
