VBOX 2.2 on Dual/Quad core CPUs

Post by supervinx »

Hi !
On VmWare, you can assign processors to a VM (1,2,4, etc ...)
On VBOX it seems that the guest machine sees always one processor ... may be I'm wrong ... but I haven't figured if there's a way to tell VBOX to use more than a processor ...
Thanks !

VBox-driven VMs can be single CPU only by the moment. Sad but true.

Things might change in the future, however.
