All your major virtualization apps should run better than XP Mode.

Agree with viber.

From my experience Virtual Box has been better than XP-Mode, and VMware is better than both. Try VMware Player 3, is totally free.

Free... if you happen to have an XP license. If not, then you either have to purchase one or stick with XP mode.

virtualbox is pretty good, use it on my laptop with linux so if i need something to run in windows i have it

vmware is better, but the versions that are very good cost a bit of money
