• [2011-05-17] VirtualBox — W2K Virtual machine Phoenix:
  • Base Memory 1536 MB, 1 cpus, IO APIC disabled, PIIX3 chipset, VT-x/AMD-V enabled, Nested Paging enabled
    Disable IO APIC support because it slows down the VM. This requires changing the Windows HAL to Standard PC (which is uniprocessor architecture).
  • Video memory 32 MB, 1 monitors, 3D accel enabled (but not supported in W2K), 2D accel enabled
  • Storage: chipset PIIX4,
    • Primary master: phoenix-w2k.vdi (fixed, 9.1GB), imported original /dev/sda1 W2K partition from Phoenix (see Migrating Windows 2000)
    • Primary slave: phoenix-w2k-d.vdi (dynamic, max 1GB)
  • Audio host driver PulseAudio, controller ICH AC97
  • Network PCnet-FAST III, bridged, eth0
  • Machine folder: permanent, full access, /data/DV as DV
  • Default layout: fullscreen mode
