Changing virtual PC specs

Hey guys

Just recently started using Virtual PC 2004, so that I can have a
Windows 98 install for my older apps\games that don't work on XP.

My question is, is there a way to tweak the specs for the virtual
machine that my little Win98 install is running on? I believe it's
supposed to be a P3 800 MHz with 64MB RAM, 16GB hard drive and an S3
Trio 32\64 PCI (732\764), with 4MB of VRAM.

Is there any way to make the graphics adapter something more akin to an
nVidia GeForce 256, or ATi Radeon 7500?

TIA

Thanks

BTW, is VPC 2007 any different? Or does it also emulate a fairly simple
graphics adapter too?

Don't expect any major changes to virtualization programs until WDDM
v2+ arrives. Even then I doubt we'll see MS/Vmware/etc taking much
advantage of it if they don't see a market for it. (Not saying that
there isn't but MS/Vmware/etc habe seemed to be pretty blind on this
subject).

For these features, I think the one to watch is Parallels. They've
been pretty agressive in adding features.
