12.0

n A single-processor Mac with a multicore CPU
Chip Set
n Intel 440BX-based motherboard
n NS338 SIO
n 82093AA IOAPIC
BIOS
n PhoenixBIOS 4.0 Release 6 with VESA BIOS
Memory
n Up to 128 GB, depending on the available memory on your Mac, virtual machine hardware
version, and guest operating system support
n Total memory available for all virtual machines is limited only by the amount of memory on
the Mac
Note If you assign too much memory to your virtual machines and have them all running at
the same time, your Mac might slow down because of heavy disk swapping. As a best
practice, make sure the total memory that Fusion and all running virtual machines use stays
below 70 percent of your total Mac memory.
