I'll chime in.

I have a 32bit win7 install on my 32bit Arch linux laptop.  The host has 
2G of ram and I give one to the vm.  I use Photoshop in it and it works 
just fine.

I copied that vm to my 64bit arch host and that went flawlessly.  Now that 
vm has 2G of its own, and 2 of my 4 processors.  Still using photoshop, 
but it screams right along.  It takes 5-7 seconds to go from power on to 
login, and maybe 12 seconds to reboot.

I really like VirtualBox.
