I myself do not use Vmware since I am happy with dual boot. But you may
want to upgrade the RAM to 2GB. It is cheap now. For VMware,
you really want to have more RAMs. BTW, Vista would need 2GB RAM
to run. XP is happy with 512MB though but 1GB for XP is nice. Modern
Linux (with fancy GUI and Firefox) need a lot of RAM as well. So if
you are using VMWare, 1GB is just bare minimum, 2GB would be
much better.
