Convert Physical PC to NAS

[Prylbogen]

I have a old PC that is soon to be retired and i would like to keep it´s soul as a vmware image on my ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer.
I have a PC with vmware workstation 8 that will use the image. I downloaded vmware vcenter converter and installed it as standalone on the old pc. I started the conversion wizard and pointed out a share on my ReadyNas but i'm not sure i'm on the right track since the wizard says maximum memory supported for the guest os by the destination is 368MB.

The ReadyNAS should only be used for disk storage. My PC with vmware workstation will be vmware host. How do I achieve this?

I guess it presumes you'd run the VMWare image directly by the NAS itself. As the NAS has 1GB RAM that message is not unexpected.

Yes, I believe that´s the problem. But, in vmware workstation 8 you are supposed to be able to store your images on the NAS still using a pc as host, so how do virtualize the old pc to a image kept on the NAS but hosted by a more powerfull pc?

Ignore the warning if you can then after completing the virtualization try and open the image using a PC.
