Default Configurations
A typical virtual machine has the following basic virtual hardware: CPU, memory, hard disk drive, floppy disk drive, sound device (except FreeBSD and MS-DOS virtual machines), CD/DVD drive, network adapter, USB controller, serial port, parallel port connected to the printer set as the default in Mac OS.
Note: Apart from the basic hardware, you can add new devices to your virtual machine using the Virtual Machine Configuration dialog .
The amount of memory and the size of hard disks vary for different guest OSs. Refer to the table below to learn the memory and hard disk values that are allocated to a virtual machine depending on the guest operating system that will be installed in it. Virtual hard disks for typical virtual machines are always created in the expanding format .
