    Windows 7 Does a quest have a page file?

    After I installed Windows XP Mode on a host with 4GB of RAM, Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor said there was only 3GB RAM. By default a VM is assigned 512KB. Does a VM use a page file? What made Windows 7 Upgarde Advisor think there was only 3GB when 4GB of RAM is installed?
