I have just been playing with Bochs over the last 2 days (on/off).
It's much improved over the older versions.

There is an rpm which will install bochs and it will run the
supplied Linux OS without further configuration.

 http://bochs.sourceforge.net/getcurrent.html

There are several "Disk Images with Pre-installed Systems" available
on the website.

The /proc/cpuinfo for the Debian emulation reports 1MHz on my
AMD 1.4GHz machine, although it appears to respond much faster. 

A windoze install was easy, using the boot from CD ROM feature.
It didn't appear slow either.

Worth a look.

FWIW,

Steve.
