Hello to all the people in the forum.
I want to install win7 in oracle virtual Box and there run visual studio 2010. But I have an older system. Its a
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+, 2009.325 MHz
and the total memory is
2003 MiB.

Might that work?

Or should I perhaps take XP, VS2010 express or another VM for better performance?
Thanks for advice.

Allright, thanks very much.
I read that VS2010 allone should at least have 1 GB or better 2 GB. Lets say win7 takes 1 GB.
So with 4 or 5 GB it could work? Is the processor sufficient?

Again, 2GB total on the hardware will be tight.
VS requires a minimum 1GB. I've seen other statements that it requires an extra 0.5GB if running in a VM.
