CPU meter in windows

[Parallelsskip]

I am running Win-7 in parallels on a Mac Mini with i7 cpu, 4 cores.
My good, old trusty CPU meter shows only one core . . .
I tried to go in the options and change it, but did not find anything there.

Can anybody help or point me to another CPU meter, which works in parallels???

Thanks!

Hello Parallelsskip,

The CPU Meter gadget which you are using on your Windows 7 Virtual Machine will only displays the core which is used by your Windows.

Since it is running on your Windows, it will track only the resources of your Windows not your Mac side.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks for the reply so far.
How can I allocate more cores to Windows then??
I looked into the tools but can not see anything there . . .

Thanks

Found it!!
Parallels tools - General . . .

Is there any recommendation for the number of cores??
