Stef, You mean I have to admit what a pathetic old piece of junk I use? :) I'll be happy to tell you what I am using, and I too suspect that the linux vm might be a bit slower than it needs to be. Ideally, one would dual boot to allow a comparison against xp, or 2k.
I am starting to consider buying a newer machine. If I do that, I will be willing to convert the current box into a dual boot testing platform, but would hesitate to do that now. I recently repartitioned the drive, and still remember how long it takes to re-re-re-re-re(getting the idea?)check it for errors. It was painful to watch.
