Re: Best VM for video games? or WINE? x64 system/os's

[Brad Alexander <storm16@gmail.com>]

I concur with running Starcraft 2 on wine. I am not much of a gamer, but was given a copy of SC2, and it runs quite well on wine. If I were to guess, I would say that wine would have less overhead than windows + a VM environment.

VirtualBox has 3D support - I don't believe the Open version does though.

I'm not a gamer, but clients seem happy with WINE for Starcraft.

Alternatively (preferably) just use WINE (skip Windoof all-together) -
you'll probably find Playonlinux easiest to configure:-

Linux does have games you know.... some developers will even charge you
money for Linux games ;-p
