Thanks, this is great info. A few things:
>1 - CPU pinning, which is what you are doing, is not dedicating cores to the VM. The Linux scheduler (UnRAID), is free to run other tasks on those cores if it needs to, but, it will only run the VM processes on those 2 cores. If you truly wanted to dedicate those 2 cores to the VM, you would isolate them, then pin the VM to those cores. RAM is treated like any other processes RAM on Linux, and as long as there is space, it wont page it out to disk.
Sounds like then there is no real disadvantage for me to up the cores. Because if the VM isn't under lead (which is won't be since I'm using it to remote into for desktop tasks, not long lived hard core jobs or intense gaming), the cores are available for the server to use for other things outside the VM. Do i have that right?
>3 - I would start with adding a cheap GPU and passing it through. You may need a dongle to trick it into thinking there is a monitor connected if you are purely going Remote Desktop though.
I have a Supermicro X10SLm-F which has 3 PCI slots: One PCIe 2.0 x8, One PCIe 3.0 x8 and One PCIe 3.0 x16.
In the PCIe 2.0 x8, I have an LSI 9201 sata card.
In the PCIe 3.0 x18, I have the Nvidia P4000 GPU for Plex hardware transcoding.
So this leads the PCIe 3.0 x8. Any suggestions for what kind of GPU to get? Quick look on amazon came up with these:

>From there I would look at a new CPU/Motherboard. If you are wanting more VM's, now is a great time with AMD. You could triple your core count with a Ryzen 3900x, wait for the 3950x and quadruple it, or wait even a bit longer and get 24+ cores with Threadripper 3 that is expected soon.
I'll start w/ GPU first like you suggested and go from there. I considered the Ryzen originally when i did some work to upgrade my server recently, but opted to stay with my current mainboard as I read there were issues with Ryzen motherboard BIOS and unraid. Is this resolved?
