    3838    does that mean? For one thing, it installs on your existing Intel or

    41     extends the capabilities of your existing computer so that it can
    42     run multiple OSes, inside multiple virtual machines, at the same
    43     time. As an example, you can run Windows and Linux on your Mac, run
    44     Windows Server 2016 on your Linux server, run Linux on your Windows
    45     PC, and so on, all alongside your existing applications. You can
    46     install and run as many virtual machines as you like. The only
    47     practical limits are disk space and memory.

    1058       <listitem>
    1059         <para>
    1060           On the next page, select the <emphasis role="bold">Base Memory
    1061           </emphasis> that &product-name; should allocate every
    1062           time the virtual machine is started. The amount of memory
    1063           given here will be taken away from your host machine and
    1064           presented to the guest OS, which will report this size as the
    1065           virtual computer's installed RAM. <emphasis role="bold">Processor(s)
    1066           </emphasis> control determines how many virtual processors are to be
    1067           assigned to new virtual machine.
    1068         </para>
    1069         <caution>
    1070           <para>
    1071             Choose this setting carefully. The memory you give to the VM
    1072             will not be available to your host OS while the VM is
    1073             running, so do not specify more than you can spare.
    1074             Also note that it is not advised to assign more than
    1075             half of the processor threads the host machine has.
    1076           </para>
    1077           <para>
    1078             For example, if your host machine has 4 GB of RAM and you
    1079             enter 2048 MB as the amount of RAM for a particular virtual
    1080             machine, you will only have 2 GB left for all the other
    1081             software on your host while the VM is running. If you run
    1082             two VMs at the same time, even more memory will be allocated
    1083             for the second VM, which may not even be able to start if
    1084             that memory is not available.
    1085           </para>
    1086           <para>
    1087             On the other hand, you should specify as much as your guest
    1088             OS and your applications will require to run properly. A
    1089             guest OS may require at least 1 or 2 GB of memory to install
    1090             and boot up. For best performance, more memory than that may
    1091             be required.
    1092           </para>
    1093         </caution>
    1094         <para>
    1095           Always ensure that the host OS has enough RAM remaining. If
    1096           insufficient RAM remains, the system might excessively swap
    1097           memory to the hard disk, which effectively brings the host
    1098           system to a standstill.
    1099         </para>
    1100         <para>
    1101           As with the other settings, you can change this setting later,
    1102           after you have created the VM.

    1105        <listitem>
    1106         <para>
    1107           Next, you must specify a <emphasis role="bold">Virtual Hard
    1108           Disk</emphasis> for your VM.
    1109         </para>
    1110         <para>
    1111           There are many and potentially complicated ways in which
    1112           &product-name; can provide hard disk space to a VM, see
    1113           <xref linkend="storage" />, but the most common way is to use
    1114           a large image file on your physical hard disk, whose contents
    1115           &product-name; presents to your VM as if it were a complete
    1116           hard disk. This file then represents an entire hard disk, so
    1117           you can even copy it to another host and use it with another
    1118           &product-name; installation.

     1895            the virtual machine is started. The amount of memory
     1896            selected here will be taken away from your host machine and

     1901          <caution>

     1903              Choose this setting carefully. The memory you give to the

     1907
     1908            <para>
     1909              For example, if your host machine has 4 GB of RAM and you
     1910              enter 2048 MB as the amount of RAM for a particular
     1911              virtual machine, you will only have 2 GB left for all the
     1912              other software on your host while the VM is running. If
     1913              you run two VMs at the same time, even more memory will be
     1914              allocated for the second VM, which may not even be able to

     1917
     1918            <para>
     1919              On the other hand, you should specify as much as your
     1920              guest OS and your applications will require to run
     1921              properly. A guest OS may require at least 1 or 2 GB of

     1923              memory than that may be required.

    1144             The checkbox <emphasis role="bold">Pre-allocate Full Size</emphasis>

    1147             which only grows in size when the guest actually
    1148             stores data on its virtual hard disk. Therefore, this file
    1149             is small initially. As the drive is filled with data, the
    1150             file grows to the specified size. When the mentioned checkbox

    1152             <emphasis role="bold">fixed-size file</emphasis> which
