As to memory, I let windows manage it so I don't bump into odd limitations.

I can't get genymotion to work on win 7 hp dc5700 core 2 with 2 gb ram even if i set virtual device memory to 512mb Have tried a few different phones/android versions, have tried installing version packages from sdk manager but still haven't been able to get any virtual devices up and running The best I get is blank screens and nothing happens when I press the power button
