Pentium II, Intel Pentium III, Intel Pentium 4, Intel Core Duo, and Intel
Core2 Duo processors. You can run Virtual PC on a multi-processor computer,
but it utilizes one processor only."
This implies that 'Intel Core2 Duo' is the top processor you can use if you
want VPC2007.

I'm running VPC on a Core 2 Quad system. I don't know how many cores it
actually uses, but according to Set Processor Affinity in Task Manager, it
is allowed to use all 4 cores by default.

No, you can run on any x86 compatible processor.
All VMs will only use one CPU/processor. If you have a quad core, all
the VMs you have running will use 1 core, the other 3 will be left
available for the host OS and some other VPC threads, like disk
processing.

That's interesting, and good to know. I have wondered about this, as it
always appears to be Core 4 that spikes up when doing something CPU
intensive in a VM.

Are you referring to the 'Guest OSs'?

Yes, guest OSes running in virtual machines.
All the virtual machines/guest PCs running in VPC will use a single
CPU or a single core in a multi-core CPU.
An additional CPU or core will be used for other tasks like disk
activity, but all the Guest OSes will share one core.

You can't run Virtual PC inside of a Parallels virtual machine, that
is why you're seeing this message.
WinImage, www.winimage.com will allow you to open a VHD to access the
files inside of it.
If you want to run the OS on the VHD, there is, or at least was, a
tool that would convert VPC VMs to Parallels.

hey..
i have a macbook, i installed windows XP on parallels and tried to install MS Virtual PC 2007 to access a Virtual Hard Drive, but it shows me some error like, Virtual PC can be used only with at least Pentium II or equivalent. My macbook has Intel core 2 duo processor on it.
If MS Virtual PC 2007 works on Pentium II then it should work even on Intel core 2 duo right..?
am i wrong...? please help me out...
Is there some other way to access my Virtual hard drive(VHd) from my macbook...?
