This is one of the most asked questions.

So look into the FAQ.

Correct. It doesn't matter if your PC is 20 years old, or brand new, the Guest will always see the same hardware, except for the CPU. It is written in the FAQ, so why ask the same question again?
Read the Forum Posting Guide before opening a topic.
VirtualBox FAQ: Check this before asking questions.
