My laptop screen is just too small for editing photos and I don't have a main Windows desktop machine so I decided to create a VM on my Ubuntu machine using Virtual Box.
Seeing however as I have a library of several thousand pictures running back 8 years or more, what should the minimum spec be for the VM, currently I have assigned one core and 1GB RAM to the VM, of course this runs very slowly when trying to browse the library in lightroom.
I tried upping the RAM to 2GB but seeing as I only have 4GB on the computer it seems to throw a hissy fit.
What specs would people recommend? Also should I consider running all of this on a solid state HD? Or is it not worth it, my current 1.5TB Sata HD does seem to churn over a lot when I use it for this purpose.
