Which RAM does any OS in VirtualBox use Does VirtualBox create a virtual memory or use the same RAM of the host computerfor e.g if I have 8 gb RAM in my system, and I have assigned 4 gb RAM in virtualBox to other OS, then will it use systems RAM?
VirtualBox doesn’t have a virtual memory. Instead, it creates a virtual hard drive as a file in your file system, and when it boots up the virtual machine, it loads the entire virtual machine into RAM. This is the same way VirtualPC used to operate. The difference is that VirtualPC did things a bit differently. When you installed Windows on a VirtualPC machine, you were actually installing the entire operating system into a virtual hard drive file. It then used the same RAM you gave it to actually load the operating system into RAM. The virtual hard drive file was quite large, and when your computer rebooted, it had to reload the entire operating system again. VirtualBox is different in that it only loads the operating system into RAM when you actually boot up the virtual machine. This means that you don’t need to leave 4 gb of RAM free when you boot up Windows XP, or whatever else you’re running in VirtualBox. It also means that if you reboot your computer, you don’t have to wait for VirtualBox to load your operating system again. It eliminates the lag time that VirtualPC was notorious for.

How do you run VirtualBox on PCLinuxOS 2009?
First you have to install Virtualbox. Go to the App manager (Synaptic) search the repository for the Virtualbox program. Tell it to install. You will have a new option under your emulators tab in the programs list. You go to the Virtualbox program and hit new, it will ask what media you want to boot from (img file or media). When I put in my XP disk it started automatically. You may have to go to the configuration menu and enable your CD/DVD ROM for it to boot from your removable media.
