[Xen-users] Games

[<J.Witvliet@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Perhaps slightly off-topic, but perhaps somebody around has tried something 
like this.

I bought a game for my son, and verified that it got "platinum status" for wine.
However, the general requirements are way too heavy for his current machine, 
even without wine.

So, I was contemplating if (!) it might be possible to have a virtualized xp/w7 
running the game.
The piece of software (truck driving simulator) is asking:
-Dual core CPU 3.0 GHz
-4 GB RAM, graphics card with 1024 MB memory (GeForce GTS 450-class equivalent 
or better)

I already have several virtual machines running, mix of Linux (mostly servers) 
and XP (desktop chores),
But never tried virtualized gaming.

So I presume that installing the game poses no problem, but playing might be 
something else.
- with regards to CPU-load...
- with regards to graphics: Could I get away with a TSC-client over the network?

Anyone who ever tried it? Worthwhile trying or forget it straight away?

Hans
