Pro Tools in VM?

[H0ck3y]

I know that protools is a very finicky program and needs certain things to function properly. I was reading the debate about Pro Tools running on 64 bit systems. I have a desktop that has a 64 bit quad core with just over 8 GBs or ram that am planning on doubling soon. I am running Windows 7 RC and Fedora 11 as a dual boot. I was wondering if a possible solution for running pro tools on my system would be a Virtual Machine. Is this even possible? I wasn't sure if the VM would be able to recognize the MBox Mini that I have if it was running on a 32bit XP VM. If anyone has successfully tried this, I would be greatful.

Thanks!
