Default is there a virtual machine that supports more then 8 cores?
well since my main PC is going to be down for a while until I can figure out what is going on, I have been using my Folding box, I just unplugged the small hard drive that has all of the folding under linux and then attached all of my other harddrives one of which has windows 7 it can see both sockets but when I loaded up vmware it will not allow anything more the 8 cores which really sucks. Is there any virtual software out there that would let me be able to use both sockets and all of the cores?

Virtualbox. I'm using it with my i7 970 (6c/12t) and it works very well.

Or VMWare Player 3.0.0 - and only that one. It will allow more than 8 cores.
