If so, it's a Sandy Bridge processor. If not, then I have not idea what it is. > > Unfortunately, once I got it set up, I found that VBox guest > > performance simply sucks.

And I use it when I can. However, there are applications that it won't run, because of missing kernel features. And of course, it does absolutely not good at all if you need to run something other than Linux. Sucky Linux emulation performance is not my problem. If it were, I would have asked about that. My problem is sucky virtualbox performance, on any guest that has VT-X emulation enabled (which means all 64 bit guests). > Windows runs great (as for windows of course) under VBox. Not for me. *Every* 64-bit guest OS has sucky performance. Linux, Windows, and others. The only one that reports any problems is Linux - it reports the "CPU Locked" errors. The others just suck. If I cut the memory size down and create 32-bit guests, they all seem to run OK. But I want to run systems for which there aren't 32-bit distributions. Are you only running 32-bit guests? Are you running on 9.x or 8.x? Thanx, http://www.mired.org/ Independent Software developer/SCM consultant, email for more information. O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org
