Running Google Chrome OS form gdgt.com's virtual image

First off you will need VMware Player for Windows, VMware Fusion for
MAC or virtualBox in order to use gdgt.com's virtual image which you
can get here: http://bit.ly/2id0vH

So here is what I did to setup my VM. Keep in mind these steps are for
VMware Workstation 6.5.

1) I Created a new VM
2) Selected Custom
3) Hardware Capability Workstation 6.5
4) I will install the operating system later
5) Linux
6) Other Linux 2.6.x kernel
7) Called it Google Chrome OS
8) Gave it two processors
9) 1024 MB ram
10) Selected bridge networking
11) SCSI Adapter: LSI Logic
12) Use Existing Virtual Disk
13) Browsed to the vmdk file
14) I opted to convert it to Workstation 6.5
15) Checked Power on this virtual machine after creation
16) Clicked Finish
17) First login attempt failed
18) Changed the VM Ware network adapter settings and checked Replicate
physical network connection state
19) rebooted
20) Logged in just fine
21) Pressed CTRL+ALT+T to open a terminal window
22) typed in xdandr -s 1280x720, hit enter to change my screen resolution
23) typed exit

Everything is working good (so far)!

My System specs:

Shuttle SG31G2
Intel 2.4GHz C2Q Q6600 8MB 775 Quad Core Processor
4GB DDR2 800 PC-6400 Dual Channel 240-Pin Memory
