    Hi all,
    I have G53JW, but don't be felt limited by G53 series, all of comments of G-series owners are greatly appreciated. What i want to know is how smooth and trouble-free your virtualization experiences were on an Intel VT-having notebook (almost most of Core I CPUs support it natively and enabled in BIOS) using well-known virtualization softwares such as VMware Player or kinda.

    For example, most of us are running on Window 7 SP1 and i'd like to run my XP SP2 (or SP3) simultaneously due to compatibility issues of some older programs.

    Any experiences are greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    I used the latest version of Oracle Virtual Box recently, the resolution was limited (way below full HD). Also a few times I lost mouse/keyboard control in the guest (win 8) and had to end task from the host. Programs ran smoothly, but I would not recommend OVB for extended use. My only goal was to get a feel for win 8.
