Hello,

A friend needs PC's for his office, although the PC will be mainly used for general office work he also runs "Virtual Machine Workstation"

(as far as I understand a stand alone program enabling him to run some specific software he require for is business).

With this in mind what spec would you recommend? I'm guessing more RAM the better, but not sure about the rest, he'd obviously like it as cheap as possible!

Cheers,
 
Apparently my friend has some catalogue (car parts) that will only run on Windows XP? According to him (I've not seen it in action) he simply installs the VM and Windows XP boots with the catalogue pre-installed...

He's obviously like to run this from a modern PC...

This is what he's told me anyway!

Cheers
 
Thanks for the information everyone, anyone care to knock up a Office PC (just the case and components) capable of running VM Workstation as smoothly and cheaply as possible?

Just need the box, he has Windows Licences / Monitors / Keyboards already.

He'd like them to cost ~£250 or as close as possible if possible!

Thanks,
