Re: [PLUG] VirtualBox questions
|
One of Virtualbox's strengths is that like VMWare, it will recompile &
patch instructions that cannot be executed in the native environment.
When VT/AMD-V is present on host hardware, it will utilize that as well.
Now, in the case of an 64-bit host running on 32-bit hardware,
Virtualbox has to emulate quite a bit of instructions, that were added
when the AMD64 arch was introduced. So, not only are you emulating 32-
bit ring-0 instructions, you're emulating a whole AMD64 environment on
top of that.
Thank You,
Sean Collins
