I have a Vista as host and XP as guest. What happens with the RAM if I
haven´t started the virtual machine. Does Vista get all the memory? Or is the
memory I allocated for the guest not available for Vista, though the virtual
machine not is started.

RAM is only allocated to the guest(s) when it is running.

Thank you Paul, that is what I hoped.
