Hubert,

I am running a FreeBSD 8 AMD64 system with 12GB of memory and since
upgrading to VBox 3.2.2 have seen no freezes or other issues.  I am
running a FreeBSD client that I plan to test clang inside of and it has
no issues booting.  The only thing I had to do different was use FTP
passive when installing since it is NAT'd.  I am using an Intel Core i7
920.  I also run UBuntu 32bit, Fedora 64 bit, OpenSuse 64bit, Open
Solaris 32bit, XP, and Windows 7.  I am using only this CPU
customization in /etc/make.conf

CPUTYPE?=               nocona

I hope that helps.

Sincerely,
Rusty Nejdl
