    Assume you want to run both Win 10 and Android virtual machines (VMs) at the same time.
    When creating each of the machines, you may set up maximal memory for each.
    Try to set them up to leave enough for your system (it depends on whether you plan to do other work, e.g. browse the internet, while running the VM(s) or not).

    1) Estimate the antiX system (would suggest 0.5G for bare system – no browsers running etc.).
    2) Find minimal system requirements for each system to be used in the VM.
    Win 10 page states 1GB (32-bit) and 2 GB (64-bit).
    3) Sum it up and use free memory, if any, according to your best guess.

    I am afraid it may exceed the 3GB you have available.

    In order to minimize (at least partially) possible antiX system freeze, you may start the virtualbox from CLI as follows
    nice virtualbox &
