| 1155207 | 2010-11-23 19:38:00 | Ok, that makes sense but what is the difference between the VM Memory setting (VM1 1536) and the Limit (VM1 1536)? The former is the amount of memory the Guest OS is told it has. The latter is the actual limit on memory that the Host OS will ever allocate to the guest. If the limit is higher than the Memory setting, the limit will never be reached. If the limit is lower than the memory setting, the Guest will never have it's full expected amount of physical RAM made available to it, and you are likely to see memory sharing come in to play, or a Host swapfile, if the Guest tries to use the memory it beleives it has above the specified Limit. |
