What the flip are you running anyway to have issues with 16Gb?
I'm running VMWare with 1 VM that needs about 8GB and another that needs 6, plus web browser clients on the local machine. Time for an upgrade, those 8GB DIMMS are < £100 now. Only problem is I need a new CPU and motherboard as well.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

Do both your VM's need all the RAM all the time? I thought the host should be able to dynamically allocate RAM as and when it was requiredCoffee's for closersComment

It's total bloatware.Not my doing I'd like to add.
I think I'm going to have to split the work over a couple of machines. I'll shift one of the VMs on to my laptop.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

What the flip are you running anyway to have issues with 16Gb?Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment
