Variable Processor Speed - VMware

While running VMware in Windows Vista and attempting to start up a new Windows XP virtual machine, I was prompted with a dialog stating that

"VMware Workstation has measured your CPU speed to be 1665 MHz, but Windows reports that it is 1900 MHz. This may mean that your computer has a power-saving feature that varies the processor speed. As a result, the clock in your virtual machine may run too fast or too slow.

For a workaround, please refer to the VMware knowledge base article at: http://www.vmware.com/info?id=97"
