My experience with my HP 6125 AMD 64 laptop was that Virtualbox runs 
much better than my previous VMWare installaiton. Currently, Virtualbox 
2.1.4 is the most current release. Initially, I installed it to run 
Realplayer 10. While there is a native Realplayer on Linux, the videos 
my wife wanted needed MSIE to authenticate, and WINE (and Crossover 
Office) do not support RealPlayer 10.  With VMWare, the images would 
freeze, but with Virtualbox, it works well. However, we use VMWare 
Workstation at work with RHEL 5.2 as the guest OS, and performance is 
reasonable. I use KVM/QEMU at home with no complaints.
