[email protected], and I can run at 5 VMWare (90% CPU), did you lower all settings?
/and I use vga onboard, cheap HDD with 5400 rpm

Yeah already read all of it tony, still cant find best settings for CPU part..

cdkvn i need CPU settings for vmware for optimal performance (number of cores+processors active per vmware)

With my VMwares I am running 1 processor/2 cores. That doesn't seem to stress my CPU usage too much, and I only have an i5.

ManBearPig, how many bots/vm sessions??

 

[cdkvn]

I use 1 cpu/2core for each VMWare + 2G ram

ManBearPig, how many bots/vm sessions??

I have one Diablo 3 + Bot running on the host machine, and 2 VMWares.

Thanks guys!

using 1.8gig (with pagefile activated on host) per machine
1 core with PRIO saver. Put diablo3 on "high" and demonbuddy on "above average"

works like a charm and 6-10% CPU use to vm on my i7 3770k @ 4.5ghz


Be sure to put maximum 15 as framerate in your d3prefs.txt
