VMWare

I downloaded the VMware software however when I tried to load the *.iso file for Fedora I received an error. Will VMWare accept Fedora 64-bit file for Windows 7?

You should have at least 2 GB RAM installed on your machine (1 GB for Windows and 1 GB for the virtual machine). You should have at least 500 MB of disk space available for creation of a virtual disk drive.
