Ok, so I know all the guides and howtos say to use VMWare Server because it's free but I have access to VMWare Workstation 6.5 (latest and greatest, I believe) because of work..
Should I use VMW Workstation or the free Server one? Is there a performance or usability benefit to either?
Will I be able to have my VM use all four cores for the SMP folding client if I use VMWare Workstation instead of Server?
 
I know with VMWare Server you can only choose two processors, although that IS the preferred setup. With a quad, two VMs using two processors a piece
 
Hmm... well, if I can't access all four cores in one VM using Workstation I'll not worry about it. Looks like Server is a smaller install and smaller footprint.

Thanks guys.
