o that.

3.2gb-2gb=3D1.2gb for the host......
Slow HD....
VPC singlethreaded on a C2D. So it's not really taking advantage of
multiple cores. (and it's an old processor as well).

Windows 2000 as guest when you should be using XP.

So:

Get a laptop with a faster/better processor.
Get more RAM and/or use Vista/2008 64bit host OS to take advantage of
the RAM you have.
Get a faster HD (7200+ Western Digital, solid state preferred but
costs money for too little HD space)
Install Vmware Workstation. VPC is known for it's slowness.
Be sure to enable Virtualization in the laptop BIOS if it has the
option.
Make sure you are using Vista SP1.
