I've used VMWare Player (now Player Plus) and VirtualBox. Both are good, unfortunately it's not so easy to change from one to another (I've tried this week).

With a PC with 16 GB Ram as minimum you can have several VMs running without problem.

You've brought up a point which I don't know the answer to, and that's how much RAM the host PC should have, in order to handle VM's. Here at work I've got a PC with 16GB if RAM, just like you said you have. But at home, well not so much. What do you (and others) think is a minimum amount of RAM to make hosting a VM or two viable?

I have 8Gb Ram, and can use 3 VM at the time, one xp, one 7 pro, one server 2008

I setup each one with 2Gb of Ram,

Generally is rare that I use more than 2 VM at the time, but when I do my RAM is close to aneurism

I gonna update to 16Gb to be fresh
