Welcome to the Community -  To give a valid test you should get reasonable representtion of the server you will use - Definitely you will need more memory and a more current processor - I do not believe Pentium 4 chips are supported - The best thing is to find a server that is on the HCL if funding can not support that you might want to take a look at http://vm-help.com/ or http://ultimatewhitebox.com/ for whitebox solutions that run VMware -
