It should also help if you enable hardware virtualization. I don't have it
and I'm not sure why because the Dell XPS 410 has it and I have XPS 600
which doesn't. I'm very envious of anyone with hardware virtualization and
can't wait for Dell to start selling machines with Hypervisor.
I have a Pentium 4 at 3.8GhZ with hyperthreading and I don't see any undue
utilization of just one cpu. I never have with VMWare Workstation 5.5
machines either.
