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?
