a WinXP guest of a VirtualBox installation on Mac OS X Lion: problems with time synchronization
How to install VirtualBox Guest Additions - Tutorial
I guess (just like any user of a Processing Virtualization solution) I experienced problems with time synchronization within my guest OS. I searched the web for that, and I came across the above article. In the VirtualBox context "Guest Additions" is the term. I wasn't able to find the right hints on VirtualBox.org, but the above article pointed me to "Devices > Install Guest Additions" within the menu of the guest VM app. That brought a superb quality improvement, including the resizability of the guest VM app window. I really love that.

MacBook Pro: successfully upgrading memory [update]
MacBook Pro: How to remove or install memory
Mine is a "MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2009)"
The compatibility list said, I should add "PC3 -8500 DDR3 1066 MHz type RAM", but that wasn't available at my dealer (Saturn Berlin Europa-Center), so instead I installed "2*4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3" (), and that boots nice and still works very nice.
My "About This Mac > Memory" now says:
The 2 new memory bars cost me EUR 100 at Saturn Berlin Europa-Center, not like EUR 140 as at Gravis. Not all screws went in as nice, as they were before this procedure. Otherwise this was really, really easy.
Now I run VirtualBox with WinXP inside (Quicken running inside there), and it feels like walking on air, not like on stones.

My "About This Mac > Memory" now says:
Your Mac contains 2 memory slots, each of which accepts a 1333 MHz DDR3 memory module.Funny, isn't it?!!

Will be a good source for clarifying, what kind of virtualization is actually meant under certain circumstances. Very good reference material!

installing WinXP in a VirtualBox on my MacBook Pro running Mac OS X Lion
VirtualBox
Q: Why do I need Windows at all?
A: for accounting software like Lexware Quicken, Lexware Financial Office.
Update 2011-07-24 11:51
I feel like somebody put my hands in chains. This WinXP installation binds all possible resources on my Mac, and this is just my favourite machine. I will have to wait for that installation to complete, then register that installation, then do all possible updates, than install Lexware Quicken (with all possible updates), than migrate its data, than install Lexware Financial Office (with all possible updates), ...
Update 2011-07-24 12:20
What shall I get in order to comfort my patience?
Rum, cachaca, beer, coffee, ...? I think, I go for coffee. Doesn't disturb the remainder of the day.
Update 2011-08-04
Lesson learned by now: virtualization eats memory. I you spend a little on extra memory, it will run smoothly. It's basically not a matter of CPU cycles, but only of enough memory. Don't hesitate too long, before getting that.
