I can't speak about 600Es, but we run VMware on several 600Xs here quite 
happily.  These boxes are 450MHz P-IIIs, and we maxed out the memory (576MB: 
onboard 64MB + 2 256MB SODIMMs).  It's sufficient for our software 
development environment, where we run a mix of Linux and NetBSD virtual 
machines for testing and do source-editting using the Linux on the metal.  
We've got one user running MS-Windows in a virtual machine, and he says it's 
not much fun - specifically that Win98 takes all the free CPU time (which 
sounds to me like he didn't install the "VMware tools" on the guest).
