heh, I’m not in it for the ram, silly. CPU calculation space is the name. Granted anything with Windows in its name won’t do good at it, but when I was using linux that made a world of difference for compiling code and such and when I was looking at vista i thought that usefulness was mutual. So now I have a copy of 64-bit, and I’m not shelling out for 32-bit. And 32-bit virtualization won’t run 64-bit anything, which apparently the programs I know of won’t support 64-bit emulation.
In any case, the whole point of emulation is to just have a file so that when vista makes me unhappy, it hasn’t wrecked my computer, as well as I can do shift+delete and destroy it. very satisfying.
