Then comes all the spyware and virus trash that you get from the web and finally Windows rots! I've had windows on a laptop for two years and now is the time to redo a clean install. Why does that happen? I just don't know!!! Anyway when you've got used to being lazy with Linux or Mac OS you really don't want to go back; unless when you are forced to use some software that's available only on Windows. I'd like to point out that many people think I use Linux or Mac OS (now) just to be different. I'm sorry to disappoint these people but I just can't be bother to be different; I just use what makes my life simple and for now that happens to be Linux and Mac OS.

Then decide for the "upgrade". Though DDR2 Memory Modules are quite cheap nowadays, it will be a plus if all modules work at same speed since performance is "stable". Anyway, hope this helps.

I think I'm going to have a closer look at VMWare Fusion; reviews on the web can't seem to decide whether it's better than Parallels or not. I'll then hopefully consider the others in turn ... unless I get bored of course ;) Hmm … many things to try next.

I Use it in ubuntu and its really fast with windows xp. I have 1gb ram and i am currently sharing 256mb with my windows xp with no problems of performance whatsoever. KVM is the special version of QEMU where it uses the facilities provided with intel's virtualisation completely. Its really good. Am currently running maya on it. OK c ya, Bye Madhav Hi Sir,

It's free and boasts native performance. You can set the amount of memory you want to allocate to each virtual machine. Does not seem to slow down my machine. Works fine for me.
