    Can setting up a VM cause damage to main system


    I guess I should rephrase my statement to say that the most you would ever WANT to allocate to a VM running on a 4GB host would be 2G because any more than that and the host would be starved for RAM.

    Thanks for replies
    I set the RAM up to use 2GB in the VM and 2 cores for the processor (followed the tutorial for setting win 8 up on the eightforums)

    My PC goes to about 85% RAM used when running the VM but everything is working smoothly (just need to have minimum running in main 8 OS though)
