Forget dual-booting! Virtualization 101 - Page 3

Thanks...I finally decided to go for it last night. The only snag was in installing the guest additions, which took me like an hour to figure out. Now I just need to figure out what to do with it

They haven't gotten any sort of 3d acceleration to work within the virtual machines yet to my knowledge. There is no directX or opengl in these virtual os's since the virutal video card they install is usually pretty basic, its an s3 trident vga card in microsoft virtual pc 2007 for example.

I may be more retarded then. I tried to set up a Virtual Machine using Virtual PC but it would never recognize my SATA DVD drive. I may have to try it again though so I can confirm that I wasn't just being retarded

Nothing, infact they are probably the highest performance hyporvise out there for VM's running a .

That might be either a good ways off, or potentially only an option for very old games, as virtualization has to pass through many more layers, so performance would be horrid.


You might want to link to these Anandtech guides:

I love virtualization. I have a XP vm running in VirtualBox on Ubuntu, then our production server runs 3 vm's. It's a really handy technology without having to purchase specific hardware.

Oh I thought you meant native Linux stuff, not Windows in a virtual machine on Linux. Virtualized graphics is probably always going to suck. That's why I mentioned that gamers should run Windows natively and keep Linux or their non-gaming OSes in a virtual machine.

I'm trying to get this set up, how do I install it on a second partition? Its automatically installing on my C:/ but I want it on D:/. There are no options to choose an install location in the setup

EDIT: Ignore me, I'm blind.

I thought Pentium Dual Cores had virtualization disabled? Must have been thinking of Celerons...

Congrats on getting it up and running!

Only the Pentium Dual-Core E5200 (45nm) has full virtualization support. Of course Intel virtualization support is only required for 64-bit virtualization. Without it you are only supposed to be able to run 32-bit virtual machines.

It's not going to happen, at least for the VirtualBox camp. There are no plans to get 3D acceleration for VMs.
