Hmmmm? VirtualBox doesn't like Intel?

[Kevin Fries]

Actually yes, the problem is most likely not VBox, nut instead Windows.  One
of the dirty little secrets MS does not readily release is that there is
more than one MS core, an it can only be canged during install.  If you
installed Windows on that same VM that was dogging, it would very likely run
just fine... well as fine as MS Windows is capable of running, lol

Sometime ago I got to virtualize this bare-metal WinXP laptop under *Ubuntu
and I was happy.
Later on, the performance proved to be unbearable (processor pegged at 100%
load 100% of the time) and I was unhappy.
Life went on.
Bug went itching...
Geek sprung into action and:
I vdi(ed) the laptop's HD and fired up a run-of-mill VM and...
surprise, surprise...
VirtualBox running in this AMD-64 processor (not sure what, research still
not in full swing) runs my Virtual XP juuuuust fiiiine...
Same VM running on the Intel "Core Duo" of the laptop, SUUUUCKS! 100%... :(
4GB RAM both machines, *Ubuntu 10.04.
Does this make any sense?
