Question 
I'm not referring to the hardware but, the software let me list the specs of this thing any ways.

Q9550 @ 3.83 GHZ (1ghz over stock) [24-50+ hours stable in Prime 95, IBT and OCCT each]
8 GB DDR 3 (MV-3V4G3D) [Samsung wonder Ram]
Asus P5E3 Deluxe (Intel X38)
GTX480 (MSI)

Win 7 x64 (native) SSD
OSX 10.8.5 (native) HDD
Lubuntu 13.04 x64 (native) HDD
Win 8 x64 (VM) [Parallels 8] HDD [EDIT: w/ 3D acceleration]

I was wondering since maybe it's the same exact hardware under each OS natively it could be used for performance and gauging and seeing certain glitches occurred in each OS. This link my explain what i'm getting at.

I could just be one of many. Huh So i wasn't sure if such a setup could be helpful.

Why would you want to run a VM?

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking here. Dolphin will without question run best under windows. You could certainly use other OS either under a multiboot or VM configuration if you wanted to.

well if you run all the oses on the same hard ware then test i was thinking it would eliminate the hardware variable making it easier to measure performance or track bugs.

this dolphin article talks a little about that, https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2013/09/26/dolphin-emulator-and-opengl-drivers-hall-fameshame/

either way i'm gonna toy with Dolphin on all 3 oses just to see what it's like any ways.
