    Virtual Machine -- 2 cores at 100% or 4 cores at 50%?

    I was wondering what the best setup for a VM was, I have an i5-4590 (quad core) and want to run a Windows 7 VM but am wondering if it would be better to have 4 cores run at 50% efficiency or 2 cores at 100%. What would give me the best performance on the guest and the least stress on the host?

    virtual emulation of my real hardware

    Is it possible to simulate/emulate my exact hardware on a virtual machine?
