Using the Virtualbox I managed to get the Hazard distro to work.

AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Processor
GA-809FXA-UD7
8Gb DDR3 Ram
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 (It's a dual card)
OCZ CORE_SSD 121GB (SATA300) for use with the MAC OS (Virtualbox OS)
OCZ-VERTEX 256GB (SATA300) for use with Win 7 (Main OS)

Used Virtualbox 4.0.4 r70112 (Set Mac Os Server 64bit)
Installed using HAZARD distro.
Checked both updates, AMD update and the Legacy Kernel

Have set CPU to TWO, setting higher (six) slows the whole guest OS down.
Have set 2048Mb Ram available to the virtual OS, set the max allowable of 128 VRAM.

Currently have no sound. Working on the AC`97 solution to fix.
HELP NEEDED to change resolution..... anyone know how to change default resolution for Virtualbox?

Will also be trying several different options to attempt to increase performance.

Anyone else using this processor ? Any joy ?
Am attempting to run FC7, but having issues with requirements for installer program to continue..... If anyone knows how to disable "check requirements" that would be great.

Will post more updates later... (let me know if you want more details on system setup)



Updated Cores to 4 by swapping the Chipset to ICH9.....
Enable IO APIC
Hardware clock in UTC time
Enabled Absolute Pointing
Processor - Cores = 4.... Enabled PAE/NX
Acceleration - Enabled both VT-x/AMD-v and Nested Paging

MAC System profiler now reads;
Processor Speed 2.82GHz, Number of Processors = 1 Total Number of Cores = 4
Memory = 2GB
Bus Speed = 700MHz


*EDIT
Sound now working after "Install Guest Additions" was done.
