    Great Tutorial. Personally I prefer sticking with my OS, as having a virtual machine slows down your ‘main’ OS, I’m not saying to people don’t do this, but take in mind that if you have 1gb then this is no good you want at least 3gb to keep both OS’s rather quick. Also if you really want Ubuntu more than windows remove the windows OS completely and use Ubuntu full. Great and easy to follow video.

    it may run a bit slower then most VB but its great. notice when he brought down the menu bar that there is a seamless mode like in parallels which is 80 bucks. it awsome when you want to run linux on a pc or windows on a mac.

  21. toaster468 says:

    @thesamuraikuma It would make them run slower it eats up RAM

  22. Hotcheese97 says:

  23. shresth31983 says:

    Thanx again

  24. thesamuraikuma says:

    my graphics card is crap (intel GMA x4500 intergrated) and i can’t play hardly any games on it. Most give me the “your game does not meet system requirements blah blah blah” or they run psychotically slow. Can this make my comp run games faster?
