Hey, thanks for your reply. I just checked the virtualbox website, and it looks very decent. I was under the impression it was strictly for Linux!

A few more questions: assuming you have used virtualbox before, what is the performance like for an operating system such as xp? Is it laggy? What can I expect?

Finally, I have a student edition of Windows 7, do you think running that in virtual box will be pointless with my current hardware configuration (see specs in sig)?

Thanks again for your insight.
