well.. i cannot help you, because i'm using vbox on linux and i have no experience with using vbox in Vista or other windows.. But you can try to cut your XP iso in nLite, to get light weight system and then install it into virtual machine...

Well.. first u have to know, if ur graphic card supports 3D effects.. if yes, then its easy.. Ubuntu has in default options, these effects enabled.. U will maybe need to instal packages like: compiz-config-manager, fusion-icon to set what effects to use and to turn on/off effects.. Some things, can be harder to set, but after time, u will find out, how to set it all :)

My host os specs are: Windows Vista 32 bit AMD Athlon Processor 2650e 1.60 GHz RAM is 3 GB ATI Radeon X1200 video Card and my guests settings are Video Memory is 128 MB 1401 RAM VT-x/AMD-V enabled Nested Paging enabled 3D acceleration enabled any ideas of how to make it faster?

would this run well with 2gb ram, and a geforce 9400gt video card with 1gb ddr2 onboard ram?
