VirtualBox and Compiz Fusion

[dman777]

Is compiz fusion compatible with Virtual box?

This what I would like to have...Gentoo Linux as my main OS and one of the sides of the cube be a window of VirtualBox with Windows OS inside. Is this possible?

That is insane! I am going to do this for sure! Can I ask you a couple 3 questions?

1) Was your host the main comp. with SuSe, right?

2) If I had winamp playing in the virtual window(inside the Windows XP enviroment) would the music continue playing through the sound card if I rotate the cube and goto a different window(like surfing the internet in Linux(Host) while lestioning to music on Winamp in WindowsXP (virtual))?

3) I like Gentoo, would you recommend I use Gentoo(Host)? And with my Nvidia Geforce 7600GT card, which driver do you recommend?

[some-guy]

1) yup :D
2) it should... (I can't really test it now :()
3) Gentoo will probably work faster considering its build from source, since you have a 7-series card use one of the newest (proprietary) drivers :D

Can you tell me what your rig is and about how much extra does the VirtualBox tax your cpu?

Rig?
I don't even have dual-core or intel-v or amd-vt, just a athlon 64 3200+(or was it 3400?) and it doesn't cause much of a lag...
