Well, I've never spoken to anyone about running Steam on Linux before,
so don't know how well games perform in a VM.


VirtualBox (at least the Personal Edition or commercial versions) have 3D acceleration support. Works well enough for Windows Vista/Windows 7 effects but due to onboard Intel graphics on my laptop, I'm not sure how good it is with 3D games.
