[QUOTE="MacBiter, post: 1943647, member: 421638"] VMs *do* take full advantage of the chipset - that's the difference between a virtualised OS and an emulated one. They can't - it's true - use the GPU, but I'm not sure why not. As for RAM, it depends what you allocate to the VM; if you have 16GB RAM, you could allocate 12GB to the VM and let the host pootle along on 4GB while the VM is running, but the host will get back the full 16GB when you quit the VM.
