Hybrid-Graphic + Xen = Gaming in Win Guest ?

Hi,


Imagine this:

You are running a new Notebook with:

-Centrino2-Platform supporting the new VT-D (Virtualization Technology for Directed IO)
-Having a Hybrid Graphic Card (4500 Intel + Dedicated "fast" Graphic)
-Host-System is a Linux based Distribution.
-There you run Xen with Dom0-Capabilites and the PCIe-Passthrough-Feature.
-As guest you run Vista or XP.

Now the Million Dollar Question: Do you think one can -with PCIe-Passthrough- thanks to the VT-D Capability run Video-Games in the Guest as the Guest will have exclusive access to the dedicated graphic card while the host has its onboard Intel 4500 Graphic card?

*Theoretically* this *might* work. All technologies are on the table now! If in practice, too, that would be awesome!

Instead of Xen you could -provided it would support vt-d- use: VMware, Virtualbox, Parallels, etc...


What do you think? Might the sum of all these new technologies bring up this cool feature?

This is something that has to be tried out for real. Often, the theory says you can do it but when you try it out in practice you find that it does not work or that it does not work well at all.

 

So... you want your notebook to be hooked up via a cable to your PC so that your notebook cpu can procces and acces the pc GPU?
