I think I know the answer, but I’m not terribly familiar with VMware/Virtual Machine.
I have a 32-bit PC, and 32-bit Windows XP. I know that this means that the processor can only access a 32-bit memory space, limiting the useful amount of RAM to 4GB.
My real question is: If I increase my RAM to 8GB, and run a Virtual Machine, is there anything going on that would allow that virtual machine to access a greater amount of RAM? Since it is running “Inside” my host 32-bit OS, I know that the answer *should be* no. I’m just wondering if anything special happens within the virtualization that I’m not aware of.
Thanks for any help!
