New hardware compatibility

Post by txemamint »

Hello,
I am going to buy a new PC on which I will install Linux Mint. Should I take into account any kind of hardware compatibility with Virtualbox, especially CPU and graphics card?
Thanks and best regards;

Any latest bleeding edge CPU may have some glitches that the devs need to program for, no way to tell ahead of time. The VM's graphics don't use the host graphics card, though some 3D calculations can be passed through to the host card to supplement the virtual card.

Generally a stronger host will run VMs better.
