Hi Frank,
Figured out what I was doing wrong. In virt-manager,
Processor, as soon as I clinked on the "Copy host CPU
configuration" button (Nelhalem, by the way), when
I went to "topology", I was able to configure:
socket = 1
cores = 4
thread = 1
And, this time XP-Pro saw the cores as cores and not
individual CPUs.
I even got fancy and tried
socket = 1
cores = 2
thread = 2
And that worked too. Yipee!
My mistake was not clicking on the "Copy host CPU
configuration" button.
Thank you for all the help in getting me there.
Happy Camper,
-T
