    Default VirtualPC

    I recently (as in just now) downloaded VirtualPC on my Windows 7 Home Premium x64 for free, all I needed to do was go on Google and search VirtualPC 2007, and the first link I could download. Despite the popups that say my OS is not supported, it still worked. I am installing WIndows Server 2003 R2 x32 on it now. Just a heads up to anyone who wants VirtualPC. beware though, I have 16GB of RAM on my computer, and it only lets me allocate a max of 3 around 3GB of RAM. It also specifies my Processor is a Intel Pentium 3 processor, when I have a i7 2700K, I still haven't found out how to change the processor name and specifications.

    I always use Virtual Box to virtualize windows, although I had never used for games, 3D acceleration is experimental. You loose nothing trying it, it's free.

    Just testing my countless copies of Windows Server 2003 R2 from my employer. It's just a fun tool to use, but I am looking to build my own server and run some VirtualPC's on it 24/7...
