So after reading a lot about those Vms (Virtual Machines) i though, hey why not share my tests with everybody.
Current Computer specs, Nothing Exceptional
Current best working Vm
Small lists of problem you might encounter on a vm
The Facts
The things you absolutely need to run the bot properly
Note.
Even tho i have 1 physical processor which has 6 cores, i always set my VM's to (2) cores each. (3*2=6) It prevent vms from fighting over diff cores to get more cpu power.
With 3 Vms running (2x 64bit 1x32bit) My cpu runs at 90% all the time. (Memory peaks at 12.4gb)
I haven't tested with Virtual PC because i heard the 3d Accel is HORRIBLE so as far as i know vmware is the leader right now (yes i know i HATE THAT FUCKING FLIKER).
Using Windows 7 Pro N Edition is just to save power/space, it comes with no Media enhancement whatsoever, so no windows media player and shit. (Which you don't need .. except, of course, if you want your bot to listen music.. then .. anyway)
Here's a trick to push 30 days trial up to 190 days > Open command prompt (Windows key + R > type CMD) and in thatt command prompt type "slmgr -rearm" Without the " of course, this will extend your trial for another 30days (type it once every 25 days, it won't add up).[You might have to right click on cmd and run as admin i don't quite remember] Google it up!
Also another good trick would be to take a snapshot, and restore it every 30 days... either way its legal
Also did you know you can download windows 7 iso for free and legally ?

As soon as i think of any more good content to add in this i will write it up! I'ts a work in progress and if it can help anyone, then i haven't lost my time!
Happy Botting!
