I recently was searching for information about 3D acceleration in a Xen
guest, but sadly I found only some probably outdated information from
2005.
Is it possible to use 3D acceleration to play games? I plan to buy a new
CPU in order to get this Intel-VT technology, but this is the main
condition... If yes, are there any other requirements?
Its not supported in a generic way that works with 3d-applications in
windows/linux/whatever running in the domU.
The only way to use 3d-applications at the moment

What does "at the moment" mean? Is this a planned feature, or even already
in development?
It's dependent on the video chipset manufacturers publishing specs, such as ATI just did. (Yay, ATI.).
