Using CPU-ID to disable guest's access to SSE

Post by waddlesplash »

I've heard (post here "How to set specific CPUID?" and AMD's info on CPUID) that CPUID can be used to set access to certian CPU features. I want to use this to disable SSE, as BeOS hangs on AMD processors with SSE.

I'm clueless as to how I do this. Does anyone know what I put in my machine configuration file that will disable the guest's access to all and any SSE? I'm on Win7 64bit with an AMD Phenom II & latest VirtualBox.
Thank you!
