[CentOS] VMware restricting to 3GB RAM

[Hersh Parikh]

Host has 128GB RAM and its running CentOS 5.4 64 bit architect, 
Guest is 64 bit ubuntu 12.04,  
VMware Player I am using is 6.1

@Luigi- I have seen this thread and I have a Q around this. How do I know what hardware(e.g. 10/9/8) do I have?

Regards
Hersh

Check this VMware article and see if you fall within the limitations described:

Virtual machine memory limits and hardware versions (1014006)
