Windows XP on AMD X2

[Franco Spinelli <frspin-IWqWACnzNjyonA0d6jMUrA@public.gmane.org>]

After installing XP on my AMD X2 machine using "fast formatting" tip, I 
am now using it for some test.

Some network questions:

- without any "-net" option I get a "user" config, I can see my physical
   gateway and browse internet but I can't see my LAN share - is this
   correct?
- with "-smb /somedir" I get also access to my LAN share - is correct?
- emulated nic is a RTL8109 at 10 Mb/Half Duplex - is correct?

Some disk questions:

- AutocadLT 2007 don't install, stopping after .NET framework
   installation - no CPU and no disk I/O activity but no freeze
   In XP log there is an event with a problem in wuaueng.dll. I have
   already installed this program in a Vmware XP virtual machine
   Using standard qemu without KVM (and  without kqemu) give me same
   result.

Some USB tablet problems:

- mouse is correctly working but is step-moving

Some CD problem

- if there is no CD in drive, XP don't start using a -cdrom directive,
   putting a CD in drive make it to start.

Some performance problems:

- I/O on disk is about 1/3 of Vmware I/O preformance but about 3 times
   qemu performance
- display performance is approx as qemu
- cursor performance (using usb tablet) is as qemu performance
- no network performance for now

Start command is:

bin/qemu -hda vdisk.img -cdrom /dev/hdd -usb -usbdevice tablet -k it
-smb /download -boot c -m 256
