| | MS VPC website says max processor is Intel Core 2 Duo - can't be r http://www.microsoft.com/windows/dow...pc/sysreq.mspx says: "Virtual PC supports the use of AMD Athlon/Duron, Intel Celeron, Intel Pentium II, Intel Pentium III, Intel Pentium 4, Intel Core Duo, and Intel Core2 Duo processors. You can run Virtual PC on a multi-processor computer, but it utilizes one processor only." This implies that 'Intel Core2 Duo' is the top processor you can use if you want VPC2007. -- Regards Tom |

All VMs will only use one CPU/processor. If you have a quad core, all the VMs you have running will use 1 core, the other 3 will be left available for the host OS and some other VPC threads, like disk processing. -- Cheers, Steve Jain, Virtual Machine MVP http://vpc.essjae.com/ |

All the virtual machines/guest PCs running in VPC will use a single CPU or a single core in a multi-core CPU. An additional CPU or core will be used for other tasks like disk activity, but all the Guest OSes will share one core. -- Cheers, Steve Jain, Virtual Machine MVP http://vpc.essjae.com/ |

My macbook has Intel core 2 duo processor on it. If MS Virtual PC 2007 works on Pentium II then it should work even on Intel core 2 duo right..? am i wrong...? please help me out... Is there some other way to access my Virtual hard drive(VHd) from my macbook...?

WinImage, www.winimage.com will allow you to open a VHD to access the files inside of it. If you want to run the OS on the VHD, there is, or at least was, a tool that would convert VPC VMs to Parallels. -- Cheers, Steve Jain, Virtual Machine MVP http://vpc.essjae.com/ |
