Hello everyone,
I encounter with a little difficulty running Windows Server 2008 R2 standard version as the guest OS on VM workstation 8.
I plan to install Sharepoint server 2010 and project server 2010, which require windows server 2008 R2 x64, a quad core CPU
and no less than 4G ram.
The host OS I am using is Win 7 professional with i5 2400CPU @3.10 GHz on Dell desktop. I just found out if I configure VM workstation 8 processor to 1 and cores per processor to 4, which is exactly the same as its physical processor, Windows server 2008 R2 standard runs very slow, whereas if I set VM to have 1 core per processor, the guest OS runs obviously faster.
I already enabled Intel VT on BIOS.
If I use 1 processor and 1 core configuration, I am afraid that my Sharepoint Server 2010 won't even be able to run.
Any suggestion would be much appreciate !
Thank you !
Yong
