Re: [Free] VirtualBox 3.0.0 final - major update I'm running VMware Workstation 6.5.2. There is no any problem with it at all. It certainty has a superior memory management comparing to VB. If VM requires an extra RAM, it simply asks Windows to allocate it (Windows swaps it with paging file, as usual). Latest versions of VB may simply crash in this case.
It's pity that I wasted all my time with VB. I was successfully running multiple VM's in VB until v.2.1.2 was released and installed. Then I started to have problems with memory allocations. I've reported it in VB forum, waited for new releases and saw it again and again. That problem was never being fixed. I've tried v.2.1.2, 2.1.4, 2.2.0 - all ended up with reliable crashes. Finally, instead of fixing this new and obvious VB problem, they have suggested to buy a new computer... Thanks. Now 512 MiB in host computer is not enough for VB to run any guest VM, except DOS. With this attitude in development I hesitate to try v.3.0. May be I'll try it again when they make v.5.0 and at that time I'll have a supercomputer to satisfy its increasing demand for computer resources...
I have not tried Xen yet. My computers have processors that are not in the list of supported CPU's. But as soon as I get one - I certainly will.
