Migrate VMWare to Virtualbox: Windows XP does not boot, hangs at agp440.sys

This can happen when attempting to boot a WinXP VM that was created in VMWare in a Virtualbox VM.

I needed to do 2 things to fix the problem.

Disable the agp440 service (apparently you can delete/rename the file also)
Set Enable IO APIC option.
