Hi all, note that depending on what processor is in the netbook, having a high
amount of RAM may not help. You've got to think about the read and right speeds
of the hard drive, and the speed of the processor. If you had a 500 MHZ
processor for example, no matter if you had 1 or 10 GB of RAM Vista would still
not perform very well.

That's what I said. If someone upgrades to 2GB of RAM virtualization, even
for Vista guests, will run fine despite the slow performance you get with
virtualization.
