Last I checked VirtualBox needs both a AMD-V + AMD-Vi or if you go the Intel route VT-x and VT-d. VMWare Player works better if you don't have AMD-Vi or Intel VT-d i.e it at least lets you play with a working box (you have to select FreeBSD 64 bits if you want to install OpenBSD AMD64 bits). Please correct me here if I am wrong. For what I wanted: a machine capable of full ports builds for KDE 4.X work, VMWare Player is totally unsuitable. It just bogs down and its just better to have configured a 1 CPU machine, 2GB VM. I tested about a month ago. Better to buy a cheap old machine with no data on it and go the full native route for testing.
