<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Yes, it is free to downoad and there is a free open source version that has a few less features. There is no charge to use either version.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>It runs on any hardware, even older machines that don't support virtualization, however for best results I'd suggest a computer that supports Virtualization (such as a core duo) and has at least 1GB of ram. With 1G of RAM you can run a 256MB virtual machine which is good for experimentation. If you don't have hardware virtualization you will need a little extra patience.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>On my 4G Core 2 Duo machine I often run 2-3 servers and a desktop VM at once (servers usually have ~300M of RAM each, desktop 500 - 700M).</DIV>
