I'm not 100% sure about VMWare on FreeBSD (although I think only older versions are currently available), but I'd give QEMU a try. It's in ports at emulators/qemu. I've used Windows 2000 and Windows XP inside QEMU a little bit in the past, and the performance was pretty good with the KQEMU kernel module (emulators/kqemu-kmod). http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/ -Mark -- Internet Radio: Party107 (Trance/Electronic) - http://www.party107.com Rock 101.9 The Edge (Rock) - http://www.rock1019.net IRC: MIXXnet IRC Network - irc.mixxnet.net (Nick: MIXX941) GnuPG Public Key: http://www.mkproductions.org/mk_pubkey.asc
