Re: [Xen-users] WIndows 2008, Quard Core Opteron, xen

Hello

Dustin you were absolutly right.
I reinstalled windows and it now have all 4 cores.
Previous installation was made with 1 vcpus, i changed it to 4 only
after installation, and it seems cause windows to see only one core.

Dustin, Thomas, thank you for help!
