I have doubts about the performance of a VM on that hardware. I've got |
| 7 |
a mini and it's not fast (at least running Linux). Usable for |
| 8 |
general-purpose stuff but it feels pretty sluggish if I ask it to do |
| 9 |
anything heavy. I don't know any benchmarks, but if I had to give you a |
| 10 |
"feel" describing it, I'd put it on par with a 1GHz PIII with a slow |
| 11 |
drive and not *quite* enough memory. In short, it's great for doing |
| 12 |
testing on or just day-to-day stuff, but I think running a VM may be out |
| 13 |
of its league. |

If you can, replace the disk with a 5400RPM drive which will help a lot. |
