What do you mean by compacting the vmware drive?

You run your 360 through that black monitor on your desk?
Sweet setup though
[borat] Is niiiiiiiice [/borat]
Which one?
360 is run through the 26" LCD - Runs at 720p - When I want to watch movies I connect the Mac Pro to it via VGA -> VGA/DVI Converter
I know!
Planning on buying a Dell 2407 in the next couple of months or so and having the 17's running either side Leave it out, he probably sold his kidney to get that Mac Pro
Fortunately not
- I just work my ass off Spec of the Mac Pro by the way is completely standard with the X1900 XTX 512mb graphics card, I have 3 additional hard drives inside - total storage space of 730GB + a 250GB external making 980GB in total! So DAMN close to a TB
At the end of the month I plan on upgrading all the internal hard drives as they are beginning to fill up now, also buying a back up solution to make full use of Time Machine!
Going to need a 4gb RAM kit soon as well - although the rig is much faster in Leopard! and ALAS the list just goes on!
Open VMware tools on the guest o/s (double icon in the systray), select Shrink, choose your drive and click shrink.

The shrink option is disabled for me, maybe cos Im running WinXp off a Bootcamp partition? ....

Got a brand new Panasonic Y7 on the way, looks like Ill be selling it for a nice Black Mac Book. Shame only the top end one comes in black, the bottom and middle specs (white) are good enough for my needs.

At least you're not one of these eedjits that lists it as 0.98GB

I am currently using a Y5 and they are indeed really great laptops, but more power than I need I suspect. Im only floating the idea at the moment, Ill probably end up keeping the Y7 when it arrives.
Meanwhile, how well does Leopard run with 1gb memory, is 2gb needed?

If you can get more ram go for it, its pretty cheap to upgrade to 2gb nowadays (if you buy 3rd party)
