Sun Microsystems has announced the first beta release of VirtualBox 3.0 Beta 1. The major additions to VirtualBox 3.0 so far is guest SMP (Symmetric Multi-Processing) support for up to 32 virtual CPUs, Windows guests now support Direct3D 8/9 applications and games, and there is now OpenGL 2.0 support for Windows, Linux, and Solaris guests.

Guest SMP support has been a feature that's long been lacking from VirtualBox to provide better multi-core support, but it's finally arrived! To use the guest SMP support in VirtualBox, a processor with VT-x or AMD-V is required. It's also exciting to see OpenGL 2.0 now being supported across Linux/Windows/Solaris guests. It was just late last year when VirtualBox received OpenGL acceleration and then in January when it supported Direct3D acceleration. This hardware graphics acceleration was initially limited to Windows guests, but in April they finally pushed out Linux 3D support and now in June we have OpenGL 2.0 support. Of course, the host OS must also have OpenGL 2 capable hardware and drivers installed.

Beyond these major changes that have worked their way into the first VirtualBox 3.0 release, there is also various bug fixes that have went in since the VirtualBox 2.x branch too. The VirtualBox 3.0 Beta 1 release announcement can be read on the project's mailing list.

Finalmente temos SMP :D

EDIT: Bem! Isto anda mesmo a voar :D A performance da VM não tem nada a haver com o que era antes... para mim acho que é um adeus definitivo ao vmware que anda-me a crashar de tempos a tempos :P
 
Última edição pelo moderador:
E o suporte Direct3D 8/9 quer dizer que já é possível ter Aero?

Pena que as melhoras de performance se devem notar melhor em PCs com CPUs com Intel/AMD-VT.

No meu velhadas deve ficar na mesma... isto é, lento!
 
Este género de soluções nunca serão ideais para jogos...

Por exemplo, um jogo feito por mim em opengl ao estilo de micro machines borra-se todo (cerca de 20fps) no ubuntu guest com o vista como host enquanto que no ubuntu nativo aquilo bomba a uns 500fps :P

O VT-d da Intel e iommu da Amd foram criados para resolver esse e outros problemas.

On-topic. Vou experimentar quando sair a versão final e gosto do caminho que eles estão a seguir.
De referir que o Vmware Workstation 7 beta está em private beta ( http://www.virtualization.info/2009/06/vmware-workstation-7-enters-in-private.html )
 
VirtualBox 3.0 Beta 2 Brings SMP Performance Boosts

Earlier this month VirtualBox 3.0 Beta 1 was introduced by Sun Microsystems, which brought OpenGL 2.0 support for virtualized guests along with SMP support for guest operating systems. There were other notable changes present too. Introduced this afternoon is now the second beta release for VirtualBox 3.0.

Delivered in VirtualBox 3.0 Beta 2 are performance improvements for SMP guests, several OpenGL and Direct3D fixes, and various Windows guest fixes. The mailing list announcement along with the release highlights can be found on vbox-announce.

Já li algures que o Football Manager 2009 funciona com este VirtualBox, testei e não consegui apareceu a mensagem de que não conseguir abrir porque não suporta os gráficos, alguma dica?
Se um põe a rular os outros tb põem!
Cumps.

Deves activar isso nas propriedades

Bem já consegui que ele arranca-se, pelo menos já não diz que não suporta os gráficos, mas simplesmente quando começa a aparecer o símbolo da sports interative a aplicação salta fora sem nenhum erro aparente.
Se alguém tiver uma dica que diga, isto foi um grande avanço no VirtualBox, não estava nada á espera, daqui para frente é melhorar!:003:
Cumps.
