Linux SMP - one client or two?

[Berserker]

I can't remember what the outcome of this was, so please help me remember.

Core2Duo (slightly overclocked) - running VMWare - One Linux 64-bit SMP client or two? If two, in the same image or in different images?

Thanks.

I've been running VM pretty much since it was possible. I've just been optimising a bit.

PS - no slowdowns running Linux inside Linux. Or at least, no noticeable ones. I do find the clock in the VM instance sometimes goes a bit astray (which messes up frame time calculations, but a quick 'apt-get install ntp-server' soon fixed that.

Now running an E6600 with a 20% overclock and 2x SMP. I'll see how that goes - the PPD benefit does seem to just about exist, but it's certainly marginal.

For my next trick - a Q6600 - maybe.
