Try VMWare Workstation.

It will only recognize real cores

Wont recognize HT

I had that prob on my i7....workstation would only let me use 4.

Even 3.0? That's very strange.

Yea i know

Theres a long thread over on Folding Forums about it, but VBox isnt much better.

VBox is useless for F@H. It performs like crap. Even if it did support HT properly it still wouldn't make a difference.

You can set 16 cores in Workstation 7. I set my i7 to 2 virtual CPUs w/ 4 cores each. You should be able to set it to 4 CPUS w/ 4 cores. I guess that the key word there is should.

Really?
You have one VM with 2vCPUs and 4 cores?
I swear I thought I tried that when I had my i7.

Show me a screenshot so i can go kick myself.

Ok. I must have confused my reading about vSphere with the settings I used in Workstation 7.
It was my Q9450 that would setup using 4 -1 or 1 - 4 vCPUs - cores

 

[nitrobass24]

ahh

You got me all excited

It must be the lack of sleep that got me on that one. My insomnia is kicking my butt lately.
