RTC is not used on Win host.
SpeedStep/PowerNow! is disabled by changing miminal power management to
other items at Control Panel->Power Option->Power Management Setting.

I don't think it is necessary to set it if your PC is ACPI. Set it if the
clock of win2k guest is faster than the real time while IE is running.

It is normal that 2.4 kernel boots faster than 2.6 kernel, isn't it? I don't
know why Solaris x86 10 doesn't work.
