In fact, the Ubuntu host and XP guest seem to almost function completely independent of one another. When one is sluggish due to the load I place on it, the other appears to still perform as if nothing was happening.<BR/><BR/>If it helps, I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 on a Dell Dimension 3000 with 3GHz of processor speed and 1GB of RAM.<BR/><BR/>JamesJames Mortensenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14761411429474089032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4210075784363570204.post-27096469883788799502008-09-16T16:52:00.000-07:002008-09-16T16:52:00.000-07:00i use a similar setup having a fat32 partition to store the virtual machines<BR/>which can be accessible from xp and ubuntu<BR/>but when i use ubuntu as host the performace of the guest os is much slower than when using xp as host<BR/><BR/>i cannot understand whyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
