Won't make any difference. Your 32bit Windows XP just can't handle more RAM, no matter what you do with it, it won't get past that limit. Either install a 64bit OS (if you have a 64bits CPU), or take the unused RAM out and put it in another machine.
i was actually thinking of just putting the VM on my portable hard drive (so i can take it anywhere), but i was wondering since i devote a part of my ram to the VM what happens (to the ram) when i run the vm on another computer or what happens (to the ram devoted to linux) when i stop running the vm and disconnect the drive.
Also if i delete all files of the VM, will this delete the whole vm or are there other little files like in registry or something. because if i devoted 512mb ram to linux and thought it wasnt working im guessing i can just delete linux to get everything including the ram and hd space back
