Thanks. I won't have time to install VMWare today but I skimmed the documentation and Googled for a few minutes. Looks like there was a limit of 128 MB of vram in 6.0 -- haven't found any info on 6.5.

Here's a link that pretty much sums up what I've read so far (both the blog entry and the commments). Note that under "svga.vramSize" he says, "The maximum value is 128 MB." I saw that in a number of places.

I couldn't find anything about this (or about the vmx file in general) on VMWare's site but I only looked for a few minutes.
