Just checking, so you have tried to finetune your settings manually like described in point 3 in that web page?

Edit config.ini, adding the lines described below.

The example presented here assumes that the host computer has a maximum speed of 1700MHz. The first line is the most important one. It should be your host computer's maximum speed in KHz�that is, its speed in MHz times 1000, or its speed in GHz times 1000000.

host.cpukHz = "1700000"

host.noTSC = "TRUE"

ptsc.noTSC = "TRUE"

The second and third lines enable a mechanism that tries to keep the guest clock accurate even when the time stamp counter (TSC) is slow.

Yep, using those switches now. I'm probably going to remove them now that the AMD patch seemed to fix the OS just to see if it makes a difference.

Velusion, I'm not sure how relevant it is, but there's a problem in VMWare that borks the timer functions on Linux on 64-bit AMD (dual core). The patch you have mentioned doesn't solve this problem. As of couple of months ago, there wasn't any solution to that.
