Personally, I'd rather install Virtual Server on an XP desktop for testing
purposes. While 1 GB RAM is probably fine for 5 SBS users, if you allocate
half of that to a virtual machine, you're going to have a host and guest
that are both starved for RAM.

I have a GB on my XP box and it's been a little tight running Windows Server
or Vista in a VM.

The server is a P4 3.4 with 1GB RAM

As far as virtual server goes its going to be a test platform as I have
had no experience of it at all. I just wasn't sure if I could just
install it directly onto my SBS box.
