+ <title>Passing Through SSE4.1/SSE4.2 Instructions</title>
+
+ <body>
+ <p>
+ To provide SSE 4.1/SSE 4.2 support to guests, the host CPU has to
+ implement these instruction sets. The instruction sets are exposed
+ to guests by default, but it is possible to disable the
+ instructions for certain guests by using the following commands:
+ </p>
+ <pre xml:space="preserve">$ VBoxManage setextradata <varname>VM-name</varname> \
+VBoxInternal/CPUM/IsaExts/SSE4.1 0
+$ VBoxManage setextradata <varname>VM-name</varname> \
+VBoxInternal/CPUM/IsaExts/SSE4.2 0</pre>
+ <p>
+ These are per-VM settings which are enabled by default.
+ </p>
+ </body>
