I'm running VirtualBox OSE on a Lenny 64-bit system.  I find it runs
Windows XP and stock Debian kernels without problem.

Like VMware it offers a choice of system configuration depending on your
guest OS, but I don't know how much difference that makes to the
hardware which it then presents.

I've just fired up a copy of Lenny running inside a VirtualBox OSE
system and can provide the attached info.

Cheers,

Hmmmm.  Interesting idea about the CPU speed, but it is running on a
laptop with speed scaling turned on.
