And a fast PC or a very fast Mac.  I use this both on PC and on Mac, but 
since my Mac is not "very fast" (yet), I mostly use this on a PC, that 
is, an Intel box for Windows.

(I also considered VMware because of the serial and network modeling 
capability, but when installed on my XP it interfered with the ability 
of my OS X 10.1.5 to understand SMB from the XP, so I stayed with VPC.)

One might also consider an appropriate level of an MSDN subscription for 
the OS's if the license is right.
