I would like to ask if anyone has installed Virtual PC 6.1 in his Mac and was capable on running 3D games and 3d applications in general on a Windows system.Can you install DirectX?

VPC does not detect/use/work with 3D hardware so all 3D is done via software. So anything 3D heavy, like a first person shooter, will play like utter crap if it will even play at all.

On an added note to lethalwolfe, VPC can only identify 16MB of video RAM, regardless of how much you actually have.
