      for best performance you don't allocate all core to VM because it make instable the native os ( Windows ). The same thinks for RAM. On desktop PC the virtualization is not exactly because Windows take a lot of resource. ( in particular if you mining on VM )

        Right. I was thinking I'd back off down to 3 or 2 if I started having problems with it, but so far that hasn't been necessary. With the current mining algorithm, after you get the blockchain downloaded, there's not a whole lot of cpu demand.

            I'm using CPU. Inside the VM I used these instructions from @abit and @joseph to get the patched version of steemd compiled and running.

            For setting up the vm, this link might also be helpful for you, although I used virtualbox instead of vmware, and I found that I had performance issues until I put the VM onto a different disk from the windows operating system and swapping.
