This may be stupid questions (or in the immortal words of The Simpsons, there are no stupid questions, only stupid people). But I digress. 

Is a duo-core CPU viewed by such processes as SQL 2005 as 2 CPUs? And assuming that it is, and further assuming that there are 2GB of RAM aboard, how does the system decide which vcpu gets how much RAM? In particular, I was thinking about parallel queries in SQL. 

TIA,
Arthur
