Today I played around with a recent experimental build of VMware Workstation 6.5.  I installed Steam and downloaded Counter Strike: Source and Half Life 2: Lost Coast (Two apps with benchmarking utilities).

CS:S ran pretty well at the default settings, and got an average of 35fps for the stress test.

Lost Coast, however, managed to completely crash the virtual video card, I’m giving it another go now.  I’m guessing that HDR was too much for the virtual machine to handle.

Well, LC is clearly unhappy, it’s refusing to start now…

And now CS:S won’t start either, great.  Time to do some debugging…
