I run many instances on an NT box for development (not production) 
use.  Whenever I get a new job for a new client, I build a new 
instance for developing the application.  It works fine on a low-end 
system for development purposes.

In a recent post (19:18 -0400 6/20/01) I described what I do to 
create an instance on NT:
