VirtaulBox - A Summary
The developers of VirtualBox do, however, warn that depending on the guest environment and workload, greater performance may be achieved by leaving the hardware virtualization option switch off for some virtual machines. Clearly, if virtual machine performance is an issue, some experimentation with hardware virtaulization switched on and off to identify the optimal configuration is recommended.
== VirtaulBox VirtualBox - A Summary ==
In summary, VirtualBox allows multiple and differing guest operating systems to run simultaneously on a single host computer system. It is available in a bre-built, fully functional version which is free for personal and for a charge for commercial use and a free, open source version with some functionality missing.
VirtualBox runs on a host operating system and is able to run unmodified guest operating systems (i.e operating systems that have not been modified to run in a virtual machine). This is achieved using either software virtualization, or in the case of hosts with AMD-V or Intel-V CPUs, hardware virtualization.
