However the host machine has a GeForce 8400 graphics card, which is fairly high-end. If the user wants to exploit that in some Windows app, say a 3-D game, then the virtualization environments are going to let him down as they generally only emulate more modest graphics hardware. If this is an issue, he should consider Windows as the host, or a dual-boot setup. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
