No, I don't think we should increase virtualHW.version above 6 at this time. For example, we do not yet support USB 3.0. And, there is no point in preventing people with fairly ancient (2007) VMware installations from running Haiku as a guest OS.
And I don't think it's a good idea to increase numvcpus above 1 either. A single core host CPU, like my AMD64, would not be able to run such a virtual machine at all. Besides, that unsupported vCPU hack is pretty far from what most people would consider a sane default.

True but it can be added but not activated like how numvpus are now..: )

Well, no matter if it's a good idea to add disabled hacks to our vmx files or not, the topic of this ticket is pretty specific; it was not intended as an "anything VMware" ticket. No offense, but I feel it is getting somewhat hijacked. Perhaps it's just me getting old and grumpy.

Perhaps test to add more cores.. (don't know if it works) http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=197820&mpage=1&print=true
you have to edit the VMX file and change "numvcpus" from "4" to "8" and add these lines to the end of the VMX file priority.ungrabbed = "idle" priority.grabbed = "idle" processor0.use = "TRUE" processor1.use = "TRUE" processor2.use = "TRUE" processor3.use = "TRUE" processor4.use = "TRUE" processor5.use = "TRUE" processor6.use = "TRUE" processor7.use = "TRUE"
