CentOS5, XEN and WinXP?

Asked by psimation in Linux

Tags: xen, centos5

HI
I've been out of the "linux loop" for a while, and recently got a copy of CentOs5.
Does anyone know if the version of Xen that comes standard ( or a newer free version ) will allow me to install a Win XP SP2 vm?

Does anyone have any benchmark figures ( if this is possible?)

I'd love to be running CentOS as my primary OS with XP as a VM, but I need XP to run in as "close to native" mode as possible, ie, VMWare is not an option because it has no support for 3D graphics ( that I know of) - am I correct in believing that Xen utilizes the full potential of your hardware, ie. if XP can run on it, it will "recognize" your actual graphics card and allow you to install the NVidia drivers?
