I have doubts about the performance of a VM on that hardware.  I've got
a mini and it's not fast (at least running Linux).  Usable for
general-purpose stuff but it feels pretty sluggish if I ask it to do
anything heavy.  I don't know any benchmarks, but if I had to give you a
"feel" describing it, I'd put it on par with a 1GHz PIII with a slow
drive and not *quite* enough memory.   In short, it's great for doing
testing on or just day-to-day stuff, but I think running a VM may be out
of its league.

If you can, replace the disk with a 5400RPM drive which will help a lot.

Regards,
Cliff
