You are hereby corrected. Virtualization of video cards is not reasonable
given the variety of video cards that can now be used in some Macs. The PPC
has nothing to do with it. It is the GPU on the video card that has to be
virtualized.
VPC is slow enough now. Even on an Intel Mac where the cpu can at least be
virtualized instead of emulated, virtualizing GPU's is not practical.
It might be practical to emulate a higher-end graphics adaptor than the one
now used in VPC but with the Intel Macs it is simpler to use Boot Camp to
set up a Windows partition and just do any graphics-intensive Windows apps
natively. Especially games.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the XBOX360 team working on native
graphics support because of the use of a PowerPC processor in the XBOX?
If so, shouldn't they have already solved the problem of implementing
support in VPC?
