the only trouble is some hardware video accelerators cannot be used with
some games or really "video-intensive" programs, due to the huge difference
in hardware 

i think that's about the gist of the faq page from virtual pc

i've noticed this myself on trying to play the game "starship titanic" from
mr Douglas Adams himself :-( 
(famous writer of "the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy") 

i'm not a natural gamer, so i don't mind that much, but if you were planning
to do heavy 3d-stuff, emulation would not be the best solution
