Just because a machine has multiple processors and multiple NICs, doesn't make it capable of operating as two machines in the same case. There are a lot of different things, like the memory and I/O bus, the 8254 clock, etc., which have to be programmed differently for different OSs. To run two virtual machines on a single real machine, you are going to need some software assistance, e.g. a product like VMWare. -- Terry
