You can see this on the "Physical Computer Properties" screen. You can configure each instance to use up to (a max) of 100% of one physical CPU. There is no processor affinity. That is, VS will pool across all processors as it sees fit. This makes a lot of sense as there's no guarantees about what else is running on the host computer. It'd be nice to have a "Virtual Windows Server" SKU that's sole purpose in life was being a Host OS.

Does it see your 2 dual-core Xeons as 2 processors or four? Can you allocate 1/2 of your total CPU time to a virtual machine, or just 1/4? I have a question about Virtual Server 2005.
