Using VM (windows 7) to play intense games
 

I have Ubunut installed on my desktop (although I dont have a distro preference if another is better)

AMD 6 Core 3.2 (will be getting the bulldozer AMD 8 Core when it releases)
16 GB of DDR3 1333 RAM
SSD
some HDD's
Nvidia 560 ti 1GB


My question is, how can I or can I even get a Win 7 VM to play games as well in a main install. Give it 10 GBs of RAM or something along those lines, give it some cores and PLAY games like BF3 or just intense games in general.

I love linux and hate windows but EA and Activision still do not release games for linux. I have heard of WINE but it does not support (as far as I have read) very intense games and at the least does not support BF3 or BFBC2. Another reason it be nice to run some servers form this server which just dont work that great in windows that currently I am running from a dual core 4 BGs of ram slow PC.

If I can do this, any hints on how to config it to streamline better.

Thanks in advance guys and gals.

Simple answer: You can't. Those games won't work with the virtualized hardware, especially the virtual graphics card. If you want to play BF3 or similar games you have to install Windows. There is a chance that they work with Wine, but there is no guarantee.
I tried that already, and due to many issues with Wine I reverted to dual boot with Windows to play games.

Ah, so no way to give up ur gpu to the vm is what ur saying?

At first I am saying: Please spell out your words.
And then, yes, there is currently no way to dedicate the GPU to a VM.

I appreciate your response. Keep your grammar comments to yourself until you find a way to speak them in a polite manner.

Thanks again, "Lata"!

No, I won't. Text speak is not frowned up here. I also don't see why "Please spell out your words." should be impolite.
