Sure, but memory is dirt cheap. I just went out and got a 256 meg SO DIMM. 
With 384 megs of useable ram on my machine Win2k can be allocated 128 megs, 
which makes it very happy and it will run anything, and linux still has 
adequate resources for its needs. My experience on the A20p (admittedly a 
high-end laptop!) is that when I go to full screen with windows, you can't 
really tell you're running it under VMWare. 

The only thing that works poorly is sound. I use KDE, and that means VMware 
is running sound through artsd. The result is not spectacular... HOWEVER, 
other than that its pretty cool.
