a tip for virtual machines

VMware SERVER (free) uses ALL cores of your CPU, while virtual PC 2007 uses
only a single core.
I read about this here:
http://www.istartedsomething.com/200...-vs-parallels/

Dont confuse this with "vmware desktop" that is not free... vmware server is
very similar and can be used by anyone and is also free

just thought I would give this information since lots of people want to run
XP inside a virtual machine...
Or XP users might want to use vista on a virtual machine...

get vmware server www.vmware.com

virtual

Not real. The term virtual is popular among computer scientists and is
used in a wide variety of situations. In general, it distinguishes
something that is merely conceptual from something that has physical
reality. For example, virtual memory refers to an imaginary set of
locations, or addresses, where you can store data. It is imaginary in
the sense that the memory area is not the same as the real physical
memory composed of transistors. The difference is a bit like the
difference between an architect's plans for a house and the actual
house. A computer scientist might call the plans a virtual house.
Another analogy is the difference between the brain and the mind. The
mind is a virtual brain. It exists conceptually, but the actual
physical matter is the brain.
