Xen users - Dec 2011 - Is this possible? Multi user Xen system with VGA output?

I was thinking of building a new system for my small apartment.  I''d
like to setup something so 2 people could use the same hardware at
once. What I would like to do is setup a computer with 2 video cards,
2 audio cards and with enough memory to make the OS''s happy.  Could
Xen be setup with 2 virtualized windows OS''s and could I use the VGA
Pass through feature to direct the output of each Windows OS to it''s
own card?

I''d like to build a new PC with 2 video and sounds cards. Then
I''d
like to use Xen to virtualize 2 windows OS''s inside one Dom0 Linux OS?
I''d like each windows OS to have it''s own VGA and sound-card
output.

I know you can do the sound easily with GPLPV USB drivers and using usb 
sound cards.  I don''t know if you can pass arbitrary video cards to 
domUs, I have only seen people using it for a single domU.  Hope that 
helps.

You can, in theory, set up a Xen system to pass through two different video
cards to two different domUs.  You''ll need to have the appropriate
hardware
(processor and motherboard), however, as this will require HVMs for the
windows guests.
