Why only 1 cpu? How many do you have in your system? If you over-provision your CPU's to your guests, they generally do very well at load balancing. If you under-provision, then you're unnecessarily limiting the performance of your guests. If you have a 4-cpu system, I would say, give 3 cpu's to each guest. No matter how many guests you have. That way, there's always a little CPU left over for the host to think about CPU balancing, but each guest can probably get as much CPU as it wants. The same thing is not true for memory. Because guest OSes will grow to consume all their memory, if you overprovision the memory, you will end up swapping like crazy which would be bad. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
