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.

Is spinnaker Eight-in-one program computable in Vista home premium?
Eight In One is a great integrated legacy application. I used it many years ago to help me setup a health and safety program in the aviation industry. If it is the DOS based version of Eight In One I don't think it will run as Vista does not have a true DOS environment in which to load it. If it is the windows version from prior to Windows 95 it is doubtful that it would work because the Windows Compatibility mode does not have an option form versions of Windows before 95. However, there is an option if you have DOS or Windows 3.1. Both operating system could be run in a virtual environment using an application such as VirtualBox. VirtualBox is available at www.virtualbox.org. VirtualBox is available in versions for Wndows, Linux and Mac and will allow multiple operating systems to be run in a virtual environment. Once you have the operating system installed in VIrtualBox you can install Eigh In One. I hope this helps and proves successful. Alex G.
How do you run two operating systems in one computer?
You can't. Sorry. Yes you can, Through either virtualization (virtualbox or VMWare player, both free), or some OS, like Linux, let you install along side Windows. if you have a good PC, virtualization would be your best and safest bet.
Does Windows also include an older operating system?
It did in early PC's (through Windows 3.1), but later DOS was an emulation. But you can have two or more operating systems working in the same time. For that you need to use one virtual machines such as VirtualBox (free), VMWare (shareware), VirtualPC (was free). But even if you are going to use a virtual machine you have to have a license(s) for the operating systems you are going to install on the virtual machine.
What is the advantage and disadvantage of VirtualBox?
Some advantages of VirtualBox include the fact that it is user friendly, and there is a free version. Disadvantages of VirtualBox include the fact that the free version is that it only allows for a 32 bit operating system.
What is a virutal machine?
A virtual machine is a physical device emulated in software. In current computing references, this means any given software that allows you to run guest operating systems on a given host (e.g. running Windows on a Macintosh computer while being able to use both operating systems at the same time using Parallels or running Windows 95 on Windows 8.1 at the same time using Oracle VirtualBox, QEMU, VMWare, or Microsoft Virtual PC).
Can an Intel Atom N280 processor run 64-bit applications?
Physically? No Virtually? Yes Just install VirtualBox (or other VM (Virtual Machine)) on your computer and run for example 64-bit linux in it. And inside that OS (Operating System) you can run 64-bit applications.
How can you get two operating systems on one computer?
Install one on one partition, install the other on another partition. With Windows/Linux it's child's play. Install Windows first; put in a Linus distribution CD/DVD and install Linux (there will be a number of questions to answer such as the size of the new partition and the file structure but you can Google that as you get to it to get the system you want) and you will have two operating systems on the same computer. Restart the computer and choose which OS to boot! or even easier, use VMWare player or Virtualbox, both free, to virtualize one of the Operating system, especially the one you won't be using to play games/movies.
How do you install Windows XP over ubuntu?
If you have a lisenced installation disk you have two simple options: 1. Install it in a virtual machine through virtualbox. This makes it so you can (and must) run both systems at the same time, but switching is faster. 2. Back up ubuntu onto another storage device, such as a external hard drive. Then install windows, and make sure to wipe the system in the process. Then install ubuntu over windows, rewriting the mbr to use the GRUB bootloader. You can replace your files from the backup.
In newer operating systems how are system resources assigned by default when components are installed?
Dynamically assigned between the component and the operating system.
How could a system be be designed to allow a choice of operating from which to boot?
You have to have either two or more hard drives and set one to MASTER and the other to SLAVE then configure them in the BIOS. Or you can have one hard drive with two or more partitions (each OS on its own partition) and configure them in your BIOS. I know that vista and windows 7 will automatically give you the choice on which one you want to boot to when the OS's are on the same hard drive. You might want to look into a virtual machine aswell, like virtualbox. They are pretty cool allowing you to run as many operating systems as you want at the same time.
