And following VMs running

   - 2 node 10gR2 RAC on OEL4.4 x86 with OCFS2 and ASMlib
   - 10gR2 on OEL4.5 x86 with ASM raw devices
   - 10gR2 Data Guard on OEL 4.7 x86-64 both on ASMlib
   - Enterprise Manager Grid Control 10.2.0.4 on OEL 4.4 x86

It would be nice if you could have 8GB of memory plus more disk space for
you VMs, I'm currently having issues with disk space so all my personal
files are on my external drive and the laptop just got the VMs. I could
simultaneously run the Grid Control and RAc. I'm thinking of consolidating
some of them in one VM to free up some space..
