So it would seem that an upgrade from 1GB to 2GB RAM would be in order if I want to run 2 VMs. My only real need is for a W2K/A2K confuguration for copmiling and testing. Although I could set up a Linux VM and learn some Linux, yes?

I don't understand what you are looking for when you say "switching between machines". Physically switching is done using hot keys on the keyboard so it takes just a second or two. The virtual swaps (overhead?) for the software is almost negligible. AFAICT, all virtual machines occupy the 2 GBytes of "program memory" available on the host machine (when using a 32 bit OS as the host). You determine how much memory each virtual machine is going to have in a parameter screen. Thus you could have 4 virtual machines each allocated 500 mb, or two virtual machines each allocated one gigabyte etc. As you can see, the limits of a 32 bit OS is becoming very real in many different areas. Who'd uv thunk that 4 gigs of ram would be too small? John W.

The last thing I know of that was 4 megahertz was the old PCXTs and none of them ran a P4. John W.

You get everything that you now have, but it is running in a virtual machine. Once you do that you can (for example) install the 2007 office version and test that completely out in a virtual machine. BTW that is all free stuff and more or less point and click "just do it". John W.

I haven't installed 2007 yet -- can't have it and 2003 on the same system and my husband has my other system tied up right now. If you set Outlook 2007 to check spelling before sending a message, it goes through the motions, but actually sends the errors. This happens only if you are using plain text formatting. You can use plain text, but you must press F7 to run Spell Check instead of relying on the automated option. Both options are in the Options menu -- don't know what group that equates to in 2007 though. Just set both options: check spelling before sending and plain text and then send a message with a typo to yourself.
