I know this seems like more work than what it is worth, but this is what I have available to me.

I have a 2007 Mac mini with a dual core 1.83ghz and 3gb of ram. I also have a boat load of 1080p video I want to go through and edit with iMovie(Because thats the software I know and have). When looking at the video on the mac mini it overworks the system and all the video playback is choppy, which blows for video editing.

I was wondering if I ran a virtual machine with 4 cores and 12 gb and installed everything(a pain in a** I know) onto that, would that run smoother than an 11 year old mac?
 
Solution
It's my personal understanding (not the official policy of Apple or Tom's Hardware) that the Mac OS license is limited to running the OS on Mac-branded hardware. Thus, running it on a non-Mac VM would be questionable.
