This is what I'm using as well, but VirtualBox doesn't support KVM (not even VBox 2.0.2). On other machines I use libvirt + KVM + frontend (RedHat's open source utilities); these work well. I'm not satisfied with the VBox solution for one because of the overhead, and because I _have_ to unload KVM kmods. I'm going to try Jaffa's solution. A VM does allow one to easily transfer it to an other computer, clone the image, which are advantages. I believe VMware 64 bit does support HVM.
