It's not overkill, it can give you working sound and networking (and even graphics) if not available natively, not to mention LFNs out of the box (and actually works with DJGPP Bash ./configure unlike otherwise, for whatever reason). There will be some overhead, yes, but no worse than NTVDM, which is widely accepted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
