Hi guys, i just want to know if there a virtual PC software that uses original hardware better, what i mean is uses same hardware/chipset drivers.

I'v tried MS virtual PC on vista, installed XP and its very basic is there a better software?
 
dont think its possible, motherboards are designed to be use by 1 OS/host at time. unless motherboards has been specficially made to run more than 1 OS at time.

however, VMware server support virtualization which VMware will run by one of the dual-core CPU natively which improve "cpu" power in VMware. that it if your motherboard supports virtualization. Check your BIOS.

i like Virtual Box for overall performance.

VMware server is very good and free. Very very good at multi VMwares running at same time

If you're thinking of play HL2 in any virtual PC software, dont bother! :p
 
wanted more of a testing OS and use for older apps that do not work and maybe intensive apps/games if it was fast.

Thanks for info guys appreciated.

gonna try the virtualbox software, hope it will allow USB and serial ports to be accessed/used
