jalaffa Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 <img src="http://nsanedown.com/images/logos/VBox.png" class="logo" alt="VirtualBox" title="VirtualBox" />VirtualBox is an application installed on an existing host operating system; within this application, additional operating systems can be loaded and run, each with its own virtual environment. For example, several Linux distributions can be hosted on a single machine running Windows XP; likewise, XP and Vista can run on a machine running Linux, and so on. There is a free for personal or evaluation use proprietary version and a GNU General Public License (GPL) version.<a href="http://www.nsanedown.com/?request=12211749" target="_blank">Download</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henz Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Thanks for the update, hope there will be an auto update feature, since the file size is not small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shajt Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I was waiting for auto update feature but in the end I decided to manually do the upgrade.However, I don't understand why auto-update is saying there is no new version, it's been a quite some time since new release ... :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted March 28, 2010 Administrator Share Posted March 28, 2010 I need some user reviews. I've found that people support Virtualbox more. But still what are advantages and disadvantages of both Virtualbox and VMware. I never used VMware and heard that it's bloated. But with what exactly, any examples?

tonyblair Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Here is in brief a little compare between them: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted March 28, 2010 Administrator Share Posted March 28, 2010 Thanx for the info. :)I wanted to try VMWare. But I'll go for Virtual Box. It's nice. Only problem is, task manager doesn't show exactly about how much memory does it take. Lets see how it behaves on Windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizarre™ Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 @DKT27:It depends upon how much Base Memory you will allocate for your Guest OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted March 28, 2010 Administrator Share Posted March 28, 2010 I remember it on XP, I had allocated 256MB to Ubuntu, and I had 500-600MB free RAM at that moment. Now my total RAM usage jumped to total 1100MB(including virtual memory). When I manage to open task manager, I found that none of the programs were taking more than 50MB, both normal RAM and virtual memory. Why so?

HX1 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Math DK.. MATH.. I think actually it has to do with the fact its all Virtual... I have to still gt mine setup right... I wish had a way to run my Portable MacOSX.dmg image thing/installation VBox.. Linux is easy even from the disc.. I still have to use my Microsoft VHD and install/setup XP though.. Need to get to this soon.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
