Does each VMware virtual machine run on a seperate core?

I am running Windows 2003 as my master OS with a VM for XP Pro and linux on my current Prescott system. Would be interested to know if anyone has got a similar setup running under Vista with Virtual machines on sepeate cores.

Thanks,

Steve
 
I have my Q6600 running VMWare Server on 2003 Server. With three Virtual machines running Windows 2000 Server, two with one CPU and one with two CPU's set in the VMware settings for the virtual machine.

Its a well multithreaded application, it doesn't allocate one core per virtual machine, it allocates whatever resources it needs as per the VM's requirements AFAIK.

Yip Vista's the same. It distributes the load between the cores.

I'm running a pair of Ubuntu VM's in VMWare server on x64 Vista.
 
Thanks for the replies guys.

You think I wil see an improvement in peformance on the Q6600 then !!!! Seems to run OK on my Prescott 3.4 really though I am dieing to get more power.

On another note, did you download the Ubuntu VM has a single VM file or did you install it yourself ?

Cheers, Steve

Yeah i installed it myself. It's very fast to install direct from the .ISO.
