Thread: No multiCPU in VirtualBox 3

hello all,
have _one_ program still needs windows _and_ lots of cpu. latest wine update of last week reverted speed (i can see icons being drawn 1 after other...), updated virtualbox virtualbox-3.0 , delighted see new multiprocessor option... except doesn't seem work.

i'm not sure problem is. xp installed in single cpu , ignores new available cpus ? or problem in vb not showing processors ?

i'd appreciate if can me diagnose this.

code:
