Hi archers
I have read something about virtualisation and sth. about wine but can't deside what may the better solution for me.
My box: x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+
My OS: archlinux 2.6.31 (what else?)
What I want:
Everything I do, I doit with archlinux, also some games. But there are fine games running on theese Redmond's platform only.
(I'm sure it's a bug, not a feature)
So should I run a VM with XP as guest or is Wine the better goal (poss. less administration?)
Please gimme some knowledge.
Thanks in advance.

Direct3D support under VirtualBox seems to need some stuff from Wine:

As such I don't know if there would be a difference.

Seems to be a lot of work to admin a VM.
So i will stay on wine, cause a VM seems more to be intended for professional environments
and my intention is to play some game only.
Also, you are right anonymous_user. I had forgotten this topic linked by you.
Thanks to all for your answers!
Have a nice arch-day.
