[QUOTE="chscag, post: 995928, member: 46727"] VirtualBox works well enough with Windows programs that are not graphic intensive or make use of 3D rendering. If your programs fall into that category, give it a try. But instead of deleting the Boot Camp partition, I would leave it intact until I was satisfied that VirtualBox met my needs. Since VB is free, you've nothing to lose by trying. Just don't activate your WinXP until you decide that's the way you wish to go. Latest version of VB is 3.1.2, download from [URL="http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads"]here[/URL]. Regards. [/QUOTE]
