One of the US Army clients uses Dell Precision M6500 laptops running 64-bit Business Vista with 16 GB of RAM and the 1.6 GHz Intel i7 processor. (During installation it will complain about processor speed, but ignore it.) I run mine on the metal but others run it under VM. The latter is good if you have several configurations you want to try, but I usually do not have that requirement.
