Can Virtual Server 2005 standard be installed onto a machine with more than 4
physical processors ?

i.e. If it was installed onto a machine with 8 processors will it only use 4
or will the installation fail ?

Hi,

Yes, like Windows, that's the way it will work

Actually - no. Virtual Server Standard Edition will block installation
if there are >4 processors in the computer.
