Nope that won't work as the chipset and socket wont take a VT enabled cpu.
32bit for me then :|
Right now it's only 2GB. I'd like to at least double that with the 3 VM's that I have now. If I run more than three I might look at 8 or so GB.
Even with only 2GB, they run pretty smooth. If I boot more than one up at a time or restart more than one that's when I notice a little lag, but nothing major.
Have you used the VMWare Go site? It's kind of like the VSphere Client but it's web based. It actually said people with a setup like mine usually run 3 OS's.
I had a look around the site, its pretty impresive what they have done to get users up and running. I now have a Fedora 14 install problem to work out, it keep freezing on install. I might download the ISO again.
I think I am going to run these OS's on mine:
XP sp3
WIndows Home Server
Small Business 2003 (just for playing around with)
Fedora 14
Unbuntu 10
Probably only run max two at a time until I get more ram.
No all I need to do is get power and network in to my loft.

Does it get almost to the end, then hangs on a 'doing sumpin to the file sytem' message ?
This happened to me in virtualbox until I boosted the size of the virtual disk to 10G and memory of the vm to 512MB. Then it went fine.
After the installation & first boot, I reset it to 384 and it seemed to work ok, Anyways I went ahead with a bare metal install and deleted the vdi for disk space after.
Actually, if you want to try oracle's version of opennotsolaris with zfs goodness, that's just out too. You may hate oracle, and with good reason, but recall opennotsolaris was also opennot under the sun regime.
I'm booting it into virtualbox and indeed contemplating a bare metal install too.
