Re: About to start studying for my MCSE and looking for advice.

Nicely put!

If you don't have that much hardware, you could use VMWARE. This will,
however, require that you have at least one beefy box. Most of the Microsoft
software you need for training and practice, you can get from Microsoft.
Some can be downloaded from their site while other evaluation software can
be purchased at the low price of shipping.

Oh yeah, VMWARE or Virtual PC....good stuff, but you are dead on about the
RAM and CPU...the more the better. It sometimes chokes my P4 2.4 GHz with 1
GB RAM.
