HOWEVER, using more than one core will cause problems, and it will likely not make much difference in performance (it makes very little difference when running a XP, or win 7, guests). From what I see, VBox uses support similar to Hyper Threading, and Hyper Threading is not very friendly to OS/2. Try it, and see what happens. I suspect that it will hang after a short period. I haven't tried it for a couple of years, something may have changed (but I doubt it). -- **************************** From Doug Bissett's ArcaOS system dougb007 AT ocii.com **************************** ...
