The 3GB you get are already pretty good (50% more than the maximum you'd get with Linux or Windows host). Remember VirtualBox doesn't support 64 bit guest operating systems yet. So until it does, you have to stick with somewhat less than 4GB per VM anyway. So while it might technically be possible to squeeze out a few more megabytes for a VM, it's not possible with the current MacOS X Beta. Simply not tested. -- Dr. Klaus Espenlaub innotek GmbH, http://www.innotek.de _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
