What I am trying to do ?
I have downloaded Linux lite and Linux mint iso files and I want to run them on virtual box.
What is the problem ?
It takes ages to run both the operating systems even though my pc meets the system requirements for running virtual box.
What I have tried:
• Enabling 3D Acceleration in virtual box.
• Set video memory to max (128MB).
• Ended all other background processes.
My Pc Config:
Motherboard : Mercury Pi945gcm.
Cpu : core2duo 2.0ghz
Ram : 2gb DDR2
Harddisk : 500gb
Os : Windows 7 32bit.
And in the task manager is can see the load on my cpu is 100% when I am running the Linux on virtual box. Does that mean I can't run virtual box with this cpu ? The only option I can think of is overlocking. Would that help in running virtual box smoothly ? Any help would be highly appreciated.

Meeting the minimum requirements means just that, bare minimum.
It will run... but only just.
You really don't have either the processor, RAM or HD to be running VMs at anything like full speed.
