Virtual PC software

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?

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
