 === Calculating Reserved CPU MHz ===
 To get the MHz per core, you need to figure out the total number of available MHz that your system has and divide by the total number of cores.
 # Select 'Host' on the left menu <br/>[[File:vmware_web_host.png|200px]]
-# Take note of the number of cores this system has. (In this example: 12) Also take a look at the 'CAPACITY', but is is not precise down to the MHz (In this example 36.7 GHz) <br/>[[File:vmware_web_total_cpus.png|400px]]

-# When editing the VM, in the disk details, expand the 'Reservation' combobox. There should be a number in exact MHz for the maximum capacity of the system (In this example: 36708) <br/>[[File:vmware_web_total_mhz.png|400px]]

 # Calculate your VM CPU MHz Reservation requirement
 ::mhz_per_core = total_system_mhz / total_system_cpus (In this example: 3059 = 36708 / 12 )
 ::vm_reserved_mhz = vm_cpus * mhz_per_core (In this example: '''12236''' = 3059 * 4 )
