VirtualBox update brings improved performance and 64-bit support

[ Thanks to Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols for this link. ]

"In every case, my installations of VirtualBox and then the guest operating systems went flawlessly. However, other users might run into some quirks. For example, VirtualBox works on any PC with an x86 architecture, and it supports Intel's VT-x and AMD's AMD-V hardware virtualization components; however, it doesn't check for these architectures, nor does it support either by default. If you have the right chip set, you can turn on support manually via the program's control center."
