I can run MS in a VM Workstation (host machine and virtual machine both running XP SP2 afaik) and they get around 20fps each. The VM version is not as playable due to slowdown (it seems to only move 2/3 as fast as normal MS) but definitely good enough for FM purposes.
I'm using single core Pentium 4 x-x (2.8GHz) and I have 512MB of RAM allocated to it. I dunno why it's so slow for you.
I don't use windowmode at all though, I did notice that putting MS in window mode basically cuts the FPS by 75-80% normally.
I thought VMWare only had OpenGL support, I know I needed openGL drivers for my videocard to get it to run games.
