512MB is enough if you are using XP (as both host and guest). You can allocate 128MB for the guess (i.e. virtual machine). You are not gonna use it all day long; just to try out a software no? Isn't it better than reinstalling everything?

They are PC emulators; logical PCs. You can install Windows and almost all the operating systems and test whatever you want there - except games of course

There are two well-known appz that provide virtualization.
1. Microsoft Virtual PC, which is now free!!!! And it's very simple. You need 2004 for XP/2003 or 2007 Beta for Vista.
2. VMWare Workstation - offers better features, but not as simple as Virtual PC. Tehy have released a new beta, and I've already posted in another thread how to obtain it - legally. Use the search function in the forum.

Let it page the whole thing to the hard drive. Who cares...it's the virtual machine. Let it crawl! At least you're preventing damage to the Windows installation in your physical PC.
