Hello fellow linux users and supporters, I am here to ask for some advice and such about "Virtual Box."

I would like to load Windows XP Professional onto my computer for use in Virtual Box.

My main concerns are as follows, any answers appreciated;

I have a 40GB hard drive as master, and 20GB as slave. Can I partition the 20GB for the Windows install and run it through VB?

If I did this Windows install, would I be able to run Diablo II with it? I have 1GB ram, and when I ran Diablo II when I was using Windows XP as my main OS, I didn't have any problems. But now that I have Ubuntu as primary, I was curious if that would affect gameplay drastically.

More questions will come when those two are answered, thank you all.

Hi, ram is a issue when using virtualbox, but the main issue is virtualbox does not play games very well.

Your best bet for games is to see if that game will play in wine.

Thank you very much.
I guess I'll close this then.
