/g/ is worthless

So here's the idea /tech/:

Computers are powerful enough these days with quad-cores and the move to 64-bit that there's no reason I can't run Linux, Vista, and OS X in VMs with 4GB of RAM, 2-4 processors, and hundreds of gigs of disk space all at the same time.

However, there remain questions to be answered. Primary among them is what do I use for virtualization? I could run one of the three as the host OS and just use VMWare, VirtualBox, or Parallels. I could find some sort of "hypervisor" that would activate and run all 3, while itself not doing much at all.

If I do this, and had a kickass videocard to boot, what sort of virtualization would provide direct access to the video hardware on demand like that? Are there any that I could hit a couple keys while in a game and jump from windows to linux, then to OS X, then back to windows for my game?

Does anyone in /tech/ have experience with this, or hope to take advantage of the explosion in cores and memory in a similar fashion?

There was a picture when I posted this on /g/, but they're stupid and prefer to argue dumb things.

Why jump from one to another?  I use virtualization for multiple users doing multiple things at once. Yes you can jump, but you can only "do" one thing at once.  Get four monitors if you want to look busy.

2 graphic cards and assign different cores for different things? Oh wait that wont work. erm, buy another comp?
