Vmware, how many times? :)

Hello guys, i have a question. How many times do you think i can open vindictus by virtual machine not to burn up my pc?

I have 8gb ddr3
Geforce 550ti 2gb dd5
6 core procesor 2,9gb- 18,9mb cache on turbo?

Of course i will exe it on lowest details.

Please, answer me fast, if It's possible .

I will say about 2~3

Just keep adding until you see noticeable lag, then you have too many.

im noob so who can explain me what virtual machines means?

im currently running 3. i cant add more, it starts to lag and then ill have to adjust the delay

If you're a number-crunching guy, I run Vindictus on lowest possible settings on a stock HP Probook 4520s with just a mite of framerate issue.
(2gb ram laptop)

Would the OS on the VM itself matter much? ie. 64-bit as opposed to 32-bit take up more resources? I have a decent system but can't even run 2x 64-bit Windows 7 VM's :/ Also what would be key to running more VM's? RAM? Processor? HD speed? Video card?

Highly advise you also keep an eye on your temperatures. Without proper cooling running 3 VMs with 3 game instances at once its gonna put them pretty up there.

I would be happy if I could even get two running in the back and still be able to do stuff on my main OS lol.
Anyway my specs are (according to CPU-Z):

i7 2600 overclock @ 4.7 GHz
8GB RAM
GeForce GTX570

I think my HD speed is pretty bad, though. It's a WD 1TB 32mb cache (does that mean anything?) with a blue sticker label.
Any advice to running more VM's?

Going to try using 32 bit OS instead tonight.


EDIT: changing the OS to 32-bit seems to help a lot.. I can run 2 in the back ground (1x 32-bit 1x64-bit) with no lag at all.
