The last time I ran VirtualBox in Windows was on XP with 3+ GB of RAM. What would folks here say is the minimal requirement for running an Ubuntu guest in VirtualBox on Windows XP, Vista, or Win7?
Unfortunately, the Vbox docs are somewhat vague: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/End-user_documentation >From Microsoft's site, the minimums seem to be 128 MB for XP, 500 MB for Vista, 1 GB for Win 7. But is that dog-slow-minimum or it is reasonable for a usable VBox install running Ubuntu as a guest? FWIW, I can run an Ubuntu 9.04 guest with 500 MB virtual RAM on an Ubuntu 8.04 host with 2 GB RAM.
