You need to get the 64 bit VMWare workstation version.<br><br>It looks like you are running this under a windows environment. That will limit what version you can run of VMWare. 32-bit host = 32-bit VMWare.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I created a VM Ubuntu 64 bit. I allocated 8GB of RAM from the host(it has 12GB) to the VM.<br><br>I find that the VMWare Workstation is a 32 bit app (it is installed in the c:\Program Files(X86)\VMWare folder.<br><br>So does it mean it is a 32 bit app ?<br>
<br>If it is a 32 bit app then the max memory that is allocated to a 32 bit process is 2GB.(its my understanding).<br><br>Hence even if I have allocated 8GB it is not useful since the vmware-worksation or vmplayer app are both 32 bit.<br>
<br>Any idea how to make the full 8Gb available to the VM app or is VirtualBox true 64 bit app a better option ?<br><font color="#888888"><br><br>-Narahari<br>
