There's two ways to do it. The other one needs hardware virtualization 
support (practically any C2D+ and X2+ -processors do have it nowadays) 
and the other one uses somekind of simulation (dunno for sure how - but 
ie. Xen and Linux with slightly modified kernel can do this without 
mentionable powerloss).
