What do you guys use virtualization for? I suppose if you are looking
to run games, then that would be a problem. However, I regularly run 3
Windows XP VMs using VirtualBox on my 2006 dual core AMD machine with
2GB of RAM, and it works just fine. I use these for browser testing
and used to use one of them for iTunes, until I got an Android phone.
