[mythtv-users] Virtualisation in the home network – ready for mainstream?

[Jake]

just as an added datapoint i'm using virtualbox on my laptop with no
problem and no hw virt.  cpu is Intel(R) Celeron(R) M CPU        520
@ 1.60GHz and the machine has only 1 gig of ram but i've used it to
watch netflix instant watch and regularly use for some light gaming.
never had a problem and at least in debian if i upgrade the kernel it
just requires a dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox to rebuild the modules.

not too shabby, hope that helps!
