A VMX file is the file that contains all the info about what kind of 
hardware configuration info, such as how much ram, network 
configuration, Mac address, sound card.  The VMware Player is supposed 
to be a tool you use with pre-exisitng VMs created on another machine 
with a paid for product.  But there are tools out there for creating VMs 
without having to buy anything.  Try

With reports of VMware GSX being offered up for free, I wonder if they 
will start giving away their Workstation version too?  Even with the 
price on the GSX version dropping to $0, I still like the ESX version 
and would rather stick that up than a GSX server.
