@dapictures I got NVidia Quadro FX 1400. That is way low, and it is still better than an ATi or Intel QFX.

Statistics show, what you want to show with statistics. Benchmarks are to compare what you want to compare and don't show the reality entirely, but one part of a many parts of it.

hey where can i get that please tell me send me the links

That is completely untrue. You might be referring to vmware-player which is NOT the same thing as VMWare Workstation. Don't compare apples to oranges, and don't go making claims that you can't back up with real stats.

how fast does a computer have to be to do this? I am currently running ubuntu.

It really doesn't have much to do with "speed"... it has to do with video card. You need a good enough card to handle the hardware 3D acceleration. I'd personally recommend nVidia over ATI, and I would get at LEAST a 7600. I am happy with my 7950. Stay away from "low" numbers. 7950 is better than say, 8600. Think of it like 7xxx and 8xxx... the first numbers is the series, the last three could be looked at as "how good is this card?"

ok. yeah my video card can handle the 3d I am running ubuntu hardy heron with the beryl compiz fusion. I can do the 3d desktop I was just wondering what is needed to run windows xp alongside ubuntu smoothly like yours.. I was looking into the dell Intel Pentium dual-core processor E2180 (1MB, 2.00GHz, 800FSB) with 2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz- 2DIMMs and video is nVidia GeForce 8600GT-DDR3 256MB. would this be able to handle what you do?

Yep; that'd work. I'd really recommend you go up to 2GB of RAM though. 2 is a bit low. Consider, you'll have TWO operating systems running simultaneously. If, for example, you give 512MB to your Windows virtual machine, then that leaves only 1.5 GB for Linux. 4GB RAM just gives you more flex and you'd never have to worry about it. Good luck! It's so much fun, and SO productive.
