If this is for your learning, forget about VMWare workstation: Use KVM and Virt-manager. All you would need is hardware enabled virtualization capable CPU and bios.<br>

Subject: [ale] OT: hardware forumn<br>
<br>
I'm looking for a good place to ask questions about PC hardware.<br>
<br>
I want to build a PC to run linux & VMWare workstation. I need to learn<br>
something about Windows systems administration (don't laugh) and I thought<br>
I'd make a virtual PDC and see if I can get virtual Windows machines to join<br>
the domain. And since I'm blind, I thought I'd take the opportunity to brush<br>
up on my hardware assembly skills too.<br>
<br>
So I need help specing out a machine and matching mobo, CPU, and RAM on<br>
newegg. But I don't know where to ask about that.<br>
<br>
