I have Parallels 8 installed in my Mac with Intel i7 CPU. When I create a new Windows VM, Parallels allow me to choose how many CPUs (cores) I want to allocate to that VM (from 1 to 8 in my case).
Today I installed the same Parallels 8 in my Hackintosh (Intel i7 also) with MacOS Lion, to test its performance.
In this computer, MacOS Activity Monitor shows all 8 cores normally.
However, Parallels shows only 1 core option in "CPUs" when I try to create a new Windows VM.
Is this a known Parallels' incompatibility problem with Hackintosh or is there a way to make it "see" all existing cores?
