Re: VB on poor graphic integrated card
Why would the video card be an important factor for VM performance? It's only an issue when you want to use 3D and even the Intel HD GMA has OpenGL acceleration and can give some eye-candy to Linux. I have a laptop with the GMA3100HD and Linux VMs can run Compiz. It's not as smooth as native or with an nVidia video card, but it's possible 
. Intel has grown a lot with their onboard video cards, in the past they were only DX capable and OpenGL was in software mode. Now it's in the hardware too.
