dual cpu load balance with VM

[Al]

ive probably discussed this before but obviously any remedy didnt stick.

i have a dual cpu t5500 and i want to run a linux vm. vbox seems to launch the vms only on cpu0.

i tried playing with process lasso affinity but that didnt work, or i went about it wrong.

ideally id like both cpus utilized under one vm.

It's been a long time since I ran a vm...so pardon my memory. On the main vbox page, under SYSTEM, what does it say your processor count is?
