New to Virtualization-need a little help.
As stated, I am very new to Virtualization and I was thinking of trying to install Win XP on my current Win7 machine. I don't now if I have the power or the ram needed.
I currently have Windows 7 Home Premium
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Z9550 @ 2.83 GHZ 2.83 GHZ
8.00 GB of Ram, 64 bit operating system
I was going to try to install VMware Player or VirtualBox to run the Win XP. (I would also like to try Ubuntu or Linux Mint sometime).
Do I have enough ram and power? I could buy more ram. Also, my hard drive is small. It is a 120 GB Samsung SSD.
Thanks for any input.
