Hi Tauf, I have found that running Remedy without a virtual machine is actually a lot lighter resource wise and more flexible. You don't need the overhead of running 2 operating systems at once. I use the free SQL Server 2008 personal edition. On top of that I install the 7.6.4 Suite stack install. That install only takes around 40 minutes or so. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium with 8 Gig on an i5-2450M.
You will be surprised how easy this setup is to get going and how well it performs.
