I run Ubuntu Jaunty on a laptop with this spec:
CPU (Intel Centrino Dual Core): Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2300 @ 1.66GHz
Memory: 1GB
Is it possible to run XP as a virtual machine and get decent performance ? It's to gain quick access to the latest .NET development environment. (Yes, I have Mono on linux)
Also, among different virtualization options (VirtualBox, VMWare), is any one significantly better in terms of managing hardware ?

You could run virtualization with your hardware. Your processor supports the virtualization extensions, but I would, recommend getting more RAM, you will likely have a much better experience with at least 2GB.
