    I'm testing the trial version of PD 10, running on my late-2011 MBP with 16G ram. As the thread title suggests, if I configure the vm with anything greater than 2048 MB of ram (I've left processors at 2), it immediately crashes - specifically it goes from "Starting" to "Stopping" before any Windows boot screen comes up.

    I have been using this configuration successfully both booting directly into the bootcamp partition, as well as under VMWare Fusion 6, (with ram configured for 8 GB and 4 processors.)

    Since I'm only using the trial version (I don't want to spend the money to find out it won't work...) I'm not able to submit a support ticket. If any support staff are checking, the problem report id it created is 54178259.
