The host OS is Opensuse 11.3 64bit sonnet Posts: 14 Joined: 10. I need virtualization to run 1 vm with xp for certain softwares (I would like run 3d games, but it's not essential, just a big plus), and other vm for develpment and testing mostly with windows server 2008 os and Red Hat I have a machine with athlon II x4 2.7ghz, mainboard with 785g chipset(no iommu), 8gb ddr2, ati 4670 1gbddr3 Also I read that is possible to use svgaII of vmware with kvm, would be possible to do the same with virtualbox since vmware direct3d it's better? Because of that extra layer of resources, these types of hypervisors have higher latency and offer worse performances than bare metal ones. VMware vSphere vSphere is the world’s leading server virtualization platform.

I know in theory kvm and xen are supposed to be faster than virtualbox, but i read many user complaining about slowloness of kvm. VMware vSphere ESXi Microsoft Hyper-V Oracle VM Xen, KVM Hypervisor Type 2 (hosted) The hosted hypervisor is a software installed on top of an operating system. KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V). Or maybe someone here made some test comparing latest virtuablbox against kvm or xenīut when I tested the 2 software, I got different results, virtualbox resulted to me on an ubuntu 64 bit host much faster than vmware. As per title I'm looking for benchmark comparing performance of virtualbox vs kvm vs xen.

Kvm vs virtualbox vs vmware performance
