Guest The_Monkey Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 virtual machines...as long as you have the software, and a rig that has enough ram, you can load up some virtual machines in windows virtual server (free) and administer them to your heart's cotent.

Guest The_Monkey Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 lawl a laptop w/ 2 gigs of ram. That will work. Just give the virtual machines (probably 2) only 256MB of ram each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingless Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Elaborating on what Monkey is talking about, you can also do something like this. Depends on what you have available to you as far as media/licenses/etc. goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also use Virtual PC...which would be better for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need to deal with getting a install media of some sort. Be it a trial or... whatever >.> /allusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he'll post his processor, we can tell him if it supports virtualization. On top of that, he will need an x64 operating system (in this case it actually calls for Windows Server 2008 x64).

Wingless Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Something like this as in "not this exact link, but something similar in concept." Helmin can follow the rest of the Google links if he's interested in a VHD for him to be lazy with. And yes, your chip supports virtualization. http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=27255 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The_Monkey Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 If you want helmin, I can give you a vhd with whatever server software you wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
