May 14, 201412 yr I have a i5-2500 - this cpu has 4 cores. At all times I have 3 Doms running: Unraid, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (with desktop), Windows 8.1 with GPU passthrough. I currently have 2 cores allocated to Ubuntu and 2 cores allocated to Windows Ubuntu is for file / machine maintenance and Crasphplan Windows is for gaming I WANT Windows to also work as a Steam Host for streaming - but I really need 4 cores to do this.
