LOL No just freakin tired as hell.

I stopped thinking about it and popped into my head.


Will not be able to test it out right now. Should be finishing up my desk tomorrow. Will have my main rig up and running by then. MY bench rig might be going to eBay though, as a guy on ocf offered to walk over to microcenter for me, and pick up a 920 for me.

I blame OCA gladiators for just increasing this HW junkie issue I have.



Anywho. The idea I had was, with Virtualization tech taking new steps every day, I was thinking there might be a way to run a PC that has two videocards installed. Vista or 7 as host OS. Run XP in a VM with the primary card disabled (so it only sees one) but, because the host OS is still 3d powered GUI, even though the guest OS is not, the power of virtualization would take advantage of it.

As I said, logically it would not make sense. And I am not sure that VT works on GPUs yet, but maybe....

When I have time I will test it out. Short of that the only other thing I can think is people were experimenting with DX10 on XP back when Vista came out. Maybe running one of those applications would help Transparent windows.


I tried Windows Blinds but the trial does not allow transparency effects. (and the *ahem other method I tried failed, have not looked for another DL yet)

Thanks for the pep talk.

I love when people say something is impossible with computers It inspires me.

All I have left to do, is finish building the motherboard tray for my desk, assemble the drawer and stain and poly the top before I can take a break and devote some time to benching and tweaking. Will put this on my short list

EDIT: For the record, I love Vista, and I am not doing this because I do not want to install it Just doing it to help grab a few more boints with my 550 before I axe it.
