      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi All, &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Recently i seen a windows server 2008 R2 machine in my environment with having 4 socket with 4 core each (Means 16 Cpu).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I can also see them in device manager of windows host. Now i am confused as the server 2008 R2 Std. version support till 4 CPU only. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Are they going to work with that. or There will be change in physical or Virtual cpu architecutre and supported no of CPU from windows. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If i missed anything to supply here. please let me know.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Attaching screenshot.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Anjani Kumar&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Okay. i studied this . Just want to recheck if this configuration which i attached in screenshot is going to work. ?? &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Means 4 Cores x 4 socket.= 16 cpu. if yes. Than why its showing 4 processor in Brackets in windows properties page. (What i am assuming its simply highlighting that this vm has more cpu than it can be supported.)&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Because this is what is most likely assigned at the virtual layer; if you Right click&amp;gt;Edit settings on the VM and go to the CPU's you will most likely see 4 virtual sockets, and 4 cores per socket.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So long as you do not go above 4 sockets the configuration should be supported.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;The value showing in brackets are the number of sockets (not the logical processors), because of this you see only 4.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you have some doubt if VM is using all logical processors, just open the Task Manager and check the Performance tab, and you will see 16 processors.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
