Well, after a bit of playing (and don't do a whole lot like try and
setup a new VM while an existing VM is running - vbox 2.0 grew and ate
most of my available ram and some of my swap. For a while there, it
was very slow :). So I had to painfully close the open VM I had and
firefox, and setup the new machine for intrepid alpha 64-bit. But
after making sure that AMD virtualization had been enabled, it booted
up a 64 bit intrepid ISO. Woo hoo!

(2 gigs of RAM is not quite enough these days). :(
