so how many cores do I need on the server?

I've been using Fusion for years but I've never really know how cores are handled. If I'm not doing anything on the guest system that requires multi-cores then obviously one core assigned to guest OS is fine. So does a i5 system (two cores) have one core going to the server and one to the guest?

 

If I want to run two guest OS running databases and simple processes am I good to still use a 2 core server or should I be getting and i7 so everyone can have their own core from the quad core server?

 

I've been running Fusion for about a year in a product environment with Server 2008 running vendor specific software against the wishes of the vendor. Never had to reboot the guest once in 4 months of operation...runs perfect so screw them! So now I want to run two guests and am wondering how the two core (i5) mac mini I have will do with this (16gb of RAM).
