I run Win98 and NT4 in VMWare in a window all the time on both XFree86 4.0 and 3.3.6 and it is quite usable (Celeron 433 with 128MB, and PII 450 with 128MB, respectively). I actually don't see any speed improvements in full-screen on XFree86 4.0. I've not actually tried full-screen on my 3.3.6 system yet. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
