Re: OT:Spec for a demo laptop

** Vmware (if you pay the 5K licenses L ) supports multiple processors.   2 “dual core” CPU’s in the same box = 4 CPU for example   Works OK for us in production.   If you have 2 “Hyperthread” CPU, disable “Hyperthreading” and just run with 2 CPU instead of 4.   We tested this on some HT boxes, and unless the Guest OS AND APPLICATIONS understand HT technology, stick to Dual Core or Single Core.       Thanks-n-advance; HDT Platform Incident / Problem Manager & Architect Robert Molenda IT OS PA Tel: +1 408 501 6310 Fax: +1 408 501 2410 Mobile: +1 408 472 8097 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quality begins with your actions.   From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Axton Sent: Monday, November 13, 2006 2:15 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: OT:Spec for a demo laptop   ** vmware does allow for guests to have multiple cpu's when the host is installed on a multi-cpu machine.  Not sure how vmware handles the dual-core processors though.

BMC/Remedy recommends dual CPU 2.8 GHZ with 4 GB and an additional gig for every ITSM app. For a demo system you can probably get by with only 2 GB but I would definitely recommend a Core 2 Duo machine like the Dell Latitude D620 or one of their mobile workstations M65/90. Running virtual machines will introduce quite a bit of overhead, so the more memory, the better. Someone also mentioned that MS Virtual PC does not emulate dual processors. Not sure about VMware.
