Yeah Xen is not meant for real time apps... You won''t get optimal performances with gamer I think. Unless you dedicate 1cpu core to the gaming host may be...

It''s obviously meant for servers - which is exactly where the development effort should be focused. Try VMWare or Wine, those are more desktop-oriented (though the latter isn''t exactly a virtualization system). -- Taneli Leppä | Crasman Co Ltd <taneli@crasman.fi> | <http://www.crasman.fi/> _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

That''s a nice solution for groups or clans having one server co-located and using different games on it.
