That is the GSX/*Free* version... _Not_ VMWare best product*

I used it to host the Firebird web and tracker VM and it was a *dog*.

We use VMWare 3.5 on 2 hosts in the office and performance is *very good*.

I have also used Sun's Virtualbox solution it is also good -- a little poorer on the disk IO side.
