VMWare Player 3.0 is out and supports up to 8 CPU cores http://downloads.vmware.com/d/details/player_3_0/ZGp0YmQlJSpiZGVkZA
At least it does when running notfreds folding@home appliance.
How many CPU cores does this new version support? I know the latest beta VMWare Player supports 4 cores per virtual machine.
Oops, I just read completely and saw it was 4 :)
