I haven't benchmarked the system with one configuration vs. the other, but our desktop instances appear snappier with this approach. I'd love to have a guru describe if this is the case.<br><br>I just installed VirtualBox yesterday. It's a nice system for desktop use. Haven't benchmarked it yet. I lean towards VMware because our company utilizes a lot of their tools. Being able to drop a finicky VM out of our cluster and on to my desktop for analysis is awesome.

I have used VMWare server with WindowsXP Pro as the host and Ubuntu as the VMWare instance and found it to be slightly sluggish (to the point it was noticeable and annoying). This was on a quad core PC desktop with 4GB of RAM so it wasn't lack of hardware.
