You can also use the free VMware player. I use it to run the appliance CD's CentOS 6 system for experimenting.
My test bed is Win10 laptop, 16GB, Intel i5, and an SSD, but I've run a similar VM/Rivendell system on a 2009ish Dell Inspiron desktop with Win7, some sort of Intel dual core, and 8GB. A nice thing about running on a laptop is that I can install RDSelect and switch between my standalone test Rivendell on the laptop and our production Rivendell system. But between the wifi and the VM system, audio latency in my case is too much of a problem to reliably edit markers in RDLibrary or to work with voice tracking.
