You want to run Vista all the time?
Why not just dual-boot?

depending on the level of usage of vista that would be recommended, vmware has always been a memory hog, and with vista even more so.

Sorry, i didn't realize he said server. I thought he meant normal VM Ware.

It wouldn't even install on my VM ware but i think you should just try it first. Then if it's too slow then upgrade.
