You'll get best performance with a host environment software that supports hardware virtualization.
To use virtualization, your computer must have support for it in its hardware, specifically a dual (or more) core CPU with virtualization support. Virtualization can provide the guest OS access to the actual hardware instead of emulated hardware, which is typically of lesser capability than the host's real hardware. Google this windows on linux virtualization If your host is Windows, Microsoft has XP Mode, but there's a better one called VMLite. Unlike XP Mode, VMlite runs on more versions of Windows and can guest newer versions of Windows on older version hosts, does not require hardware virtualization capability (XP Mode requires a patch for that) and when hardware virtuaalization is present can guest a 64 bit version of Windows on a 32 bit host. As an alternative to running Windows in an emulator or by virtualization on Linux, how about running Linux programs in Windows?
