Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 On Intel Core Quad

Hi

I'm running Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 on windows XP SP2 with
Intel Core 2 Quad. I'm running SharePoint 2007 SP1 on the MVS 2005 SP1, The
issue I'm having is the Vm only can see One CPU. I've read some articles
about MVS 2005 SP1 and they said they support Quad Core.
Is there any way or setting you set to let the MVS 2005 SP1 see at least 2
CPUs, I Know I've got it to work with Microsoft Virtual PC by modifing
Boot.INI "
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional Multi-Processor" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /HAL=halmacpi.dll
/kernel=ntkrnlmp.exe
"
I'n having much luck with Boot.INI, any ideas ??

Thanks

Virtual Server supports multiple CPUs, but all VMs are limited to 1
CPU.
If you want to use multiple CPUs in a VM, you need a different
product. Hyper-V, VMWare Server, ESX support multiple CPUs in a VM,
as well as other VM solutions.
