how much RAM do you have ?
I believe, if yours is like mine, that uses shared RAM with the system.
I have 2Gig's of ram in the box and will get that some times (effects dropping out) if I'm pushing it.

i only have 1 GB of RAM. that computer isn't at home but in the office i work in.

is it unrealistic to have a guest Windows XP in VirtualBox and work in CorelDRAW on the machine, you think?

1gb ram, and assuming a pentium 4 cpu or thereabouts?
XP maybe if you slim it down, and slim down KDE a LOT.

Celeron 2.66 GHz

XP maybe if you slim it down, and slim down KDE a LOT.

then i guess i'd better dual-boot with Windows
