[ale] vmware and memory allocation

[Calvin Harrigan]

You are probably using task manager to view memory usage.  Try using 
Resource Monitor instead.  Just type "Resource Monitor" in the "Search 
program and files" box on the start menu.  That will give you a more 
detailed view of what's going on in the system.  Alternatively in task 
manager you can click on the menu bar view->select columns, then select 
all the memory related columns.
