Actually the way this works is using the proper hardware virtualisation capabilities of the CPU, so the performance will be the same as running on a 64bit host OS. It's not possible to run a 64bit guest on a host system without VT-x or AMD-V (even if the host OS is 64bit) -- Matt Wheeler http://funkyh.at -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
