Video and 3D Acceleration Features Comparison -
| VirtualBox 3.0 | Vmware Workstation 6.5.2 | |
| DirectX 9c ( Shader 2.0 ) | Yes (Experimental) | Yes (Works Seamless) |
| OpenGL | 2.0  | 1.1   |
| Performance | ( Faster but buggy )  | ( Slow but Perfect )  |
| Video Memory | Flexible 6-128 MB | Fixed 128 MB |
Conclusion -
So which one is the best?
Actually none or both …… Both have their own Advantages and Disadvantages.
VirtualBox 3 is quite Faster, Easy to get, Free, Easy to setup but lacks some mission critical features.
(Compiled/Modified versions can be buggy too, OSE Version lacks some features)
If you want to deal with Applications dealing with 3D rendering, make sure they have supported to run on OpenGL natively
( Google Earth can be run on OpenGL, or Even some games like Counter Strike: Source support OpenGL Rendering )
VirtualBox 3 supports PulseAudio which good for Linux hosts. allowing both Guest and Host to use it. (Vmware will block the host device)
On the other hand….
Vmware Player is free, You can get pre-configured machine from (Workstation trial) and run it under Vmware Player
Vmware is definitely reliable while using Direct 3D Acceleration. but not OpenGL. ( As you can see this in Results )
With Vmware Network configuration is quite easier and less complicated on Linux host. and also better with handling USB devices
