Hi,

What is the maximum number of processors supported on the guest (number of physical processors & number of cores per processors) for a guest centos 4.9 running on windows 7 and using virtual box 4.12.18.

Thanks!
D

If you are asking what the guest OS is capable of supporting, you should really ask at CentOS support...

As for Virtualbox, it only present virtual cores and up to 32 if I recall correctly. Beware that alloacting more vCPU than you actually have physical cores, not couting hyperthreaded ones, will kill the perfs of the guest.
