| | Utilize multiple cores? Hi all I am running Microsoft Virtual PC 2007SP1 on Windows 7 64bit. I hav emultiple virtual machines, and some times I want to run two of them at the same time. This causes the Virtual PC process on my host operating system to use up to 50% CPU. But I'd like virtual PC to run to processes, so the virtual machines can get more CPU time. Is there any way of doing this? Thanks. -- eliasen, representing himself and not the company he works for. Private blog: http://blog.eliasen.dk Private email: jan@newsgroup |

This way at least you are assured of good response time in your host OS.
