    Default Question, what is a virtual machine?

    I have been reading through the forums, and I see this virtual machine or something like that, and then people also say that they require a good computer,

    I have an AMD Athlon 5600 x2 2gb ram evga 8800 gts and I got a pretty good internet connection also,

    Would that be fine for a virtual machine? and just could someone explain to me what that is?

    Its like you'd be on another computer on the same computer.

    And with those comp stats you can run like 3+ vms.

    search around for two different programs, personally ive used both and have no preference either way.

    #1 - VMware Workstation
    #2 - Microsoft Virtual PC

    getting a working version and product install keys will be up to you, if you look around, you can find them

    A VM is basically a computer inside of a computer. That's all, nothing else to it
