Hi Everyone,

I have Parallels 5 (got it ages ago, will upgrade to 6 once it becomes cheaper and updated a couple of times).

Basically, I got a brand new iMac 27" i7 and I want to know if the option and ported the app to it. The application gives me the option to add up to 8 cores to a VM. I am wondering, does it treat each thread as a core (like istats menu) or is it just simply displaying the maximum available for any mac?

Basically I want to assign it two cores so I do not know whether to choose 2 or 4 from the drop down menu.

Thanks in advance.
