AFAIK XEN doesn't provide no paravirtualization for Windows yet thus you
will have to virtualize the whole system with XEN. I had made some tests
the last days and the most performant solution to me (Quad-Core with 8
GB RAM) was VMWare Workstation while running Windows using a physical
drive. I assigned to Windows 2 cores and 4 GB RAM w/o the possibility to
use swap partition coz it has then its own swap file on ntfs.
The installation is little bit tricky but is doable with ease.
However for bigger Photoshop projects there will be IMO always not
enough performance in a Virtual Machine.
AFAIK there is no way at the time to use 3d accel in any VM.
The graphic always sucks. ;(
I would even buy a SLI mode nvidia if there would be a way to use
accelaration 2D/3D in a VM, while assigning one graphic card solely to
the VM.
