[shaggymane]

this changes your Intel to show as a Core2... but I want my hardware to show up as Conroe xeon 3000 series
can anyone modify this to do so as I have no Idea what I am doing

Post the guests log file ( as an attachment ). Right click on the guest in the Main Manager then click show log. Save and post as an attachment. Compress if it is too large to post.

I dunno what a log file has to do with the file I posted

all I want is the numbers changed so that it reads Conroe xeon 3000 series
what I posted up there changed an i7 into a Core2
what I wanna do is alter it from Core2 to Xeon 3000

Core2 has more instruction than Xeon 3000 series... just need to trim it up a bit

[Perryg]

Sorry but without a log file there is nothing that can be done.

[shaggymane]

figured it out.. didn't require log file just a bash script

vm='core' # UUID works as well
# The brand string needs to have 47 characters!
# The null terminator is added automatically
brand=' Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1500MHz'
if [ ${#brand} -ne 47 ]; then
exit 1
fi
eax_values=(80000002 80000003 80000004)
registers=(edx ecx ebx eax)
for (( i=0; i<${#brand}; i+=4 )); do
eax=${eax_values[$((${i} / 4 / 4))]}
register=${registers[$((${i} / 4 % 4 ))]}
value=`echo -n "${brand:$i:4}" | od -A n -t x4 | sed 's/ //'`
vboxmanage setextradata "$vm" VBoxInternal/CPUM/HostCPUID/${eax}/${register} 0x${value}
done
