Because of how the qemu-dm graphics card emulation works, I believe host graphics card speed has pretty much no impact whatsoever with the current device model. The important factors are host CPU & RAM speed.

In the next week I hope to install Xen 3.10 on a ASUS
M2V-MX - AMD Athlon 64 X2 based system.  The board has
onboard S3 video. I will be running HVM type guests
(2D graphics only).

How important is the performance of the host video
card to guest video performance?

Will a medium performance video card like the ATI
X1600 improve guest video over that of the onboard
video?

What host video spec are important?

Will a 3D card help HVM guest 2D performance?

thanks
