Answer» I want to run certain software in vmware , need about 10-20 VIRTUAL pc but currently i use 6 win xp in vmware with 128 ram and 1 core. My pc Spec , Core 2 Quad Q6600 with 4 gb ram , and it takes 92% of my 4gb ram. Is there any way to run that software with more ightweight OS ? the closest example i can give is running ccleaner in 1 pc, and i want to run it in 10-20 pc I read VMWare SERVER , VMware vcenter , vsphere, but don't know how that works Hope someone understand this question What is the host OS? Why do you need 6 win xp in VMware? How many VM (virtual machines) do you need, or think you need, to run at the same time? What does the following sentence mean?: Quote My pc Spec , Core 2 Quad Q6600 with 4 gb ram , and it takes 92% of my 4gb ram.

Do you want to run all of them at the same time? That will either work very poorly or not at all. Back in 2011, I had a VM for Linux Ubuntu installed on my old Pentium 4 with 4GB of RAM and running even that one VM would get a bit sluggish if I simultaneously had several programs, including a browser with multiple taps, open in WINDOWS 7 and then switching back and forth between Win 7 and Ubuntu. So, if I wanted to mainly use Ubuntu for awhile, closing open programs in Win 7 worked best. So, if you're thinking of running 10-15 Win xp in vmware all at the same time, I'd say forget it. I'm sure you will have to limit the running of VM's to 1 or 2 at a time, for all practical purposes.

install ccleaner in each vm is the example , i and my friends want to test some PROGRAMS that we create ourselves and it's light weight as ccleaner only
so it's not possible with 4 gb ram ?
