Hi,In terms of CPU power it should be fine.I have VBox running on a N3050 Laptop which compared to your E7400..is nearly half of your spec. Benchmarks for E7400 vs N3050I have only 2GB on Laptop, and alocated 892MB to a WinXP VM that runs fine.If you look at the spec of of E7400 on Intel site the important thing is "Intel Virtualization Technology"There is a notation "‡ This feature may not be available on all computing systems. "Look in you BIOS to see if there is an option something like "Enable VT-x"You have nothing to loose, just try it.Here is VBox Running WinXP VM on the N3050 and CPU is about 20%Just a note,any DOS like MSDOS6.2 or DOS based OS like 3.11/98 will max out your CPU.You need to install something like DosIdle or CPU Rain in the Guest to tame CPU Halt Cycles.Do some Googling
