Re: Hyper-V RTM
Could be. But I've seen enough studies to know that it doesn't matter what
you do with a "normal" OS and applications, at some point the addition of
processors is counter-productive. (this assumes that both the OS and the
applications you're running are not specifically written for HPC, which is a
different kettle of fish.) Now in a Server environment, that's a bit
different, but as a workstation? Even someone who multi-tasks as much as I
do is pretty much maxed out at 4 cores. And honestly, I don't even push that
fourth one if I don't do virtualization. Now, virtualizing? Oh, yeah, now
we want some cores. And lots and lots and lots of memory.
