"Does this mean a guest server can only take advantage of a single processor which is massive performance decrease?"
Correct, VMware server allows SMP From: Ara Avvali [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2008 10:42 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Virtual Server 2005 Hello everyone, I want to be clear on something so I ask! Google gives a lot of different results. We have a server which has dual processors with quad core. So when I run the task manager on host it shows me 8 logical processors. I installed virtual server 2005 on it and ran another server 2003 inside it. Internally task manager shows only one logical processor. Does this mean a guest server can only take advantage of a single processor which is massive performance decrease? Or does it see the 8 logical core combined as one processors so it is the same speed of host but only different look? It is a debate if SQL Server 2005 should be running in VM or not.
