VMWare's graphics driver won't be able to use accelerated graphics. You can try, but I doubt you'll get more than a couple of frames a second. It would be a shame to spend money on VMWare just for that. OTOH if you have VMWare already it'd be a good thing to try and let us know how it works.

I can suggest trying dual-boot instead. Installing Windows on VMWare will take just as much hard drive space on the VMWare virtual disk as it would on a dual-boot disk. The big disadvantage is that the dual-boot system won't have access to your linux filesystem when in Windows so you won't be able to share scenery.

If you need help with managing partitions, I can offer some advice as I've successfully done partition resizing before. My biggest piece of advice, right off the bat, is BACK UP YOUR DATA before you try anything of the sort. If you want help with this feel free to message me off-list.

Cheers,
Josh

I have never managed to get anything with Wine, but the 'notepad' ! :-/
I think I will think big, and try to set up WMware.
