Hi André,
Thank you for the idea, but VMware palyer has a "HUGE" bug !
I've an AMD FX 8150 8 core CPU.
Both VMware Worstation :
and VMware Player allow me to create a VM using 1 CPU with 8 cores (translated by VMware as 8 CPUs).
However, even if VMware Player allows me to create such a VM with 1 CPU and 8 cores, it doesn't allow me to "Play" it since VMware Player send the following error message : "This virtual machine is configured to run with 8 CPUs, but VMware Player supports only up to 4 CPUs. The virtual machine cannot be powered on !"
Oops !
It's just crazy that such a bug wasn't repported before.
Cheers.
