So far I am up to video 6 and no problems with the material. In fact, video 16 is where I will start learning new stuff; that does not mean I won't pick up new material along the way.

Here is my issue though. I am setting up a number of VM to simulate the environment in the course. The problem comes in with the number of VM needed. My laptop has 4GB of RAM actually 3.5 b/c I am using a 32-bit OS and there is no way I can have 10 VM going at the same time, which according to the outline is what is needed.

Thus far I have 2 DC and 2 client computers. I'll setup a Member Sever tonight but even that might be too much. Worst case scenario how many VM will need to be running at any given point? Buying a laptop with 8GB of ram is nowhere in my budget. Getting a Desktop that can have 8GB or more can't be done either. So my solution is to find out how many at any given point must be running at a single time to follow along.

Thanks

You'll only need 2 or 3 running at any given time. For most of the lessons you can get by with just NY-DC1 and two other machines.
