A bit of research indicates that the two most popular free VM contenders are VMware and Microsoft's Hyper-V. Can anyone recommend one over the other? Are there better choices?
A third choice is VirtualBox. I just checked the website for it and it is available for Windows. I also noticed it is from Oracle and some people don't like dealing with Oracle products. I've been using VirtualBox under Linux to run an older version of Windows so I can run a 3D modelling program that is Windows only.
One of the things that pushed me towards VirtualBox was ease of setup. I first looked at VM Ware but found it confusing to determine which version I would have needed to use.
I too recommend Virtual Box, and the large memory you mentioned (32GB) You may have fun finding large memories: all too many devices have soldered-in small memory chips, to "encourage" you to buy a whole new machine when you need more. --dave [currenty running an old-looking brands new t44p, fro the pluggable memory] -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.
