I tested it without turning ON the VMware, but the performance hasn't changed much. Is it because I am using AMD processor. As far as I know it shouldn't be problem, please correct me if I am wrong.
Nope, AMD shouldn't be a problem. Post a 'ps aux' of it booted without vmware; if it's still swapping then something else is still using an immense amount of memory.

Jayfriend,

Any particular apps running on your server other than vmware?
