Right now it is a problem and the cpu vendor will be different on the destination. Guest application might notice it and brake and even more likely that instructions like sysenter/exit are not the same on the target cpu. Luckily there is a patch by Amit Shah for emulating them and it and the option of virtualizing the cpu parameters will be committed soon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
