After reading some of the answers (thanks!), I realized that I have an
ambiguity in the description of my problem.
What happens is that the GUEST (Win XP) maxes out its processor (as reported
by the WinXP task manager) on Intel, but works fine on AMD.
The host (*Ubuntu 10.04), on the other hand, seems unaffected and runs OK on
either brand.
Again, THANKS! :)
