the best form to configure CPUs on VMs (number of virtual sockets x number of cores per socket)

Hi,

I have a HP ML110 G7, with a Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1220 (Quadcore, 3.10 GHz), and i will configure two VMs, one Win2008SeverR2 and one LinuxDebian 6.

I have found some tutorials about configurations of vCPUs but i still have some questions about.

For example, to divide exactly the same processor capacity between both VMs, would be correct like this:    ????

Win2008-->   number of virtual sockets      [ 2 ]

                    number of cores per socket  [ 2 ]

LinDebian-->  number of virtual sockets      [ 2 ]

                    number of cores per socket   [ 2 ]

Or this way i use the full capacity on both VMs? (instead of using 50% on each one)
