Ubuntu 14.04 host with Win8.1 guest runs horribly compared to virtualbox

Hey Guys,

 

I have been a VMware fanboy for a while especially using it in windows to host linux guests. I am finally making the switch in reverse to run linux as my host and windows as my guest however vmware player runs soo awful I had to switch over to virtualbox. When I enter "Unity mode" the windows sometimes appear after a couple minutes and after doing so they are so laggy that they cant be dragged around nor can I work inside them. On the other hand when I run virtualbox and enter "seamless mode" the windows are super responsive and everything is working 110%. honestly I would call it good with virtualbox except that I cant use dual monitors in full screen and in seamless mode i cant move windows to another monitor.

 

virtual machine settings:

vmware player and virtualbox are reading the same virtual drive

both have the same resources assigned: 2gb ram & 2 cores

 

Host: i5 6gb DDR3 crappy GT210 video card

 

Any advice would be very helpful
