Right now, the guest's graphics performance is going to be fairly slow 
whatever you're running in the host.  It's not worth trying to upgrade the 
host graphics card, because it's not really going to make any difference to 
the guest.

Guest display improvements will probably come from future optimisations in 
future releases of Xen.

Cheers,
