I am running Ubuntu 14.04, and I've installed windows 8 on virtualbox. The problem is that it is too slow - even minimizing a windows takes 2-3 seconds.



The reason I think this is a problem is because I have a fairly strong machine here: my cpu is i5-3470, and I have 8 Gigabytes of DDR3 running on intel SSD with SATA3. Checking the hardware monitor while running the VM shows that I only use 4 Gigabytes and CPU usage is around 5% idle.



Here's what I think: I have an on board graphics card that can't run all of windows' eye candy fast enough. Also, in virtualbox preferences I can't check 2d/3d acceleration, as I get a message about invalid configurations.



Am I right? And if not, any suggestions?



Thanks!

Your CPU integrated card should be enough to run Windows 8 eyecandy.



The fact that you can't check 2d/3d acceleration makes me wonder if you have too little memory allocated to the virtual video card.



Try to increase it in the Display section at the virtual machine preferences menu. Make it at least 256 Mb if possible.
