Virtual system

Greetings Kaleun!
I am having some trouble running a virtual machine for gaming purpouse.
My problem, is my virtual pc only offers me a low "graphic memory".
After, a few googling on the internet, I found the reason of my problem.

Virtual PC
******************
standard SVGA VESA graphics card (S3 Trio 32 PCI with 4 MB Video RAM, adjustable in later versions up to 16 MB)

[ quoted from wikipedia ]
*************************
Then I realized 16 mb of video ram is not enough to run the game, I actually want to run a "game which consume a moderate memory usage".

So, my question is : " Is there any add-on, patch, or something which allows you to "upgrade the video ram up to 32 at least?" in the virtual machine?

What VM are you using? What is the base OS?

Is this post serious? You can't run any 3D games unless they are incredibly simple in a VM!

I am new in this kind of stuff.
Just using this to transfer some items from main account to mule account.

So main pc OS is windows xp, and the version I plan to run is windows xp.
Currently I am using the Virtual PC 2004 trial.
I just need to use from time to time, that's why I am using the trial one.
