Default Don't install VMWare 3.0.1
Just installed the new VMWare update and then found out it limits you to only 4 cores.

Back to 3.0.0.

Found this out yesterday. I sure wish there was a way to get rid of that annoying upgrade popup.

There is. Go to preferences, uncheck check for update.

I found this out the hard way Saturday on the upgrade, forgot to post a warning.

Excellent. The popup was the only reason I upgraded. Lost 48hrs of folding time because I just started VMWare and walked away from the PC - never clicked Ok on the popup.

maybe you have to set something for it to see more than 4 cores?
