Sockets and Cores

[GarthK]

Running 1.5 24 and I see the option to select Sockets and Cores when building a KVM VM. I have a dual Quad Core box so would it be better to select two sockets with one core each or one socket with two cores? This would be for Ubuntu 8.04 server.

Thanx,
Garth

Hi,
it's makes no different. It's intresting for some programs, which are licenses to cpus but not for cores. This is better on proxmox like on vmware - there you can only spend cpus not cores.
