actually it does emulate the 3d video card. it doesn't use your host video card but uses it's own emulated video card emulated by your cpu, kinda sucks :/

it virtualizes cpu and ram though

Yes, Virtual PC is intended to support legacy business applications, needless to say Microsoft doesn't care about game performance in it. Nevertheless I have had great results with it, playing the Win9x and Win3.1 games that I want to, like Age of Empires II or Civilization II. I did have serious performance problems too when I tried VirtualBox, the OS itself ran very slow even before loading anything else; I didn't try hard to solve the problem, I just switched to VPC which works great out of the box for Windows.

How much RAM and HDD space should I give a Win98 VM?
