Sockets on VMWare 5.1 demo

Hello,

I was demoing VMWare 5.1 last year but stopped as it wasn't in the budget anymore and didn't want to waste time.  Well it's back in the budget so doing some tests now.

My host has

Processor Sockets = 1
Processor Cores per Socket = 4
Logical Processors = 8

Last year, I was able to change my virtual machine to have 8 virtual sockets.   Now, my selection is only 1-2.  But showing that I have 8 cores available.

Anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks.

Gary
