Which PC Configuration to Use Hyper-V on a Testing Environment
Hello, i am working as a trainer at a company. I am also assigned to test systems on virtual environments. At my home environment i have a pc that has Q9300 cpu and 8 gb ddr2 ram and i am running Vmware without hassle.
However i wan to get familiar with Hyper-V as well, but my company lack of hardware for testing environments. Best workstation has only 2 GB Ram and it is a shame that we have only one server (an old IBM brand).
I'm going to convince my boss to purchase a PC or a server to test Hyper-V and other configurations. However i know that my boss won't purchase any server for now.
As a result we need to get started with a strong personal computer configuration.
What would you suggest?
Do you know (or use) a pc configuration that works cool with Hyper-V?
Also would you suggest using Hyper-V as a role inside Windows Server 2003 or another option?
Can you tell me example configurations that runs fine with Hyper-V and your virtual environment?
I appreciate your time and comments regarding this issue.

Well, actually i had issues with a certain pc configuration during setup, because of that i am collecting your opinions, please continue sharing recommended and better pc configurations for testing purposes
though a PC would definitely be not recommended for production use :-)
