[clue] VMs on laptops.

[mike havlicek]

Interesting question. Now I am curious to do further investigation about what I have been playing with
lately. I have been using VirtualBox 4.3.6r91406 on a Dell Inspiron 15 with pre-installed Windows8 (plus some recommend upgrade to 8.1 I think). The laptop has corei3 processor. Anyway just from an initial look at the Solaris11 VM I have been running the indications for that guest describe its system as

Acceleration: VT-x/AMD-V, Nested Paging, PAE/NX

for whatever its worth... I used an appliance download of the OS from Oracle Downloads as a starting
point.

It probably goes without saying that I use desktop virtualization extensively, and recommend it to others. I've used vmware player, vmware workstation, and virtualbox a LOT.

The virtualization extensions seems to do nothing for performance and reliability. I only care about them when I need to run 64-bit guests.
