Do you need a hardcore graphics card to get that to work?
Not at all. I've used it with shit graphics cards and it runs well.

I do all kinds really, my cnc software runs under Wine in Ubuntu, along with my Video Editing and Music software. The last straw for me to Windows is iTunes, and once they get that figured out for Wine, the Windows VM image is gone too
I stick with 32 bit mainly because of the java and flash issues. Once those are fixed I will switch back, but I got tired of doing the workarounds.
And iTunes is the only reason I have VirtualBox installed also. I doubt they'll have it working in Wine anytime soon. They've been working on it since iTunes 6.0, which was the last one that semi worked with Wine.
I haven't tried Jaunty yet. I'm just going to wait until its released to upgrade. If I had a second computer running and could afford downtime if something went wrong or I fucked something up, I would.
