Sigh.  David was pretty clear that he's not on this list.  So he's not 
going to tell you.

To do what Dave mentions you don't need wonk-ass.  PIII 500 with 256MB 
would do.

David likes to use virtual labs for teaching so he's probably thinking 
of a machine that can run 2-4 VMs at a time.  I'd say a current 
generation CPU (though CPU may be the least important), 4+GB of RAM and 
50-100GB of disk space.

If you don't have that you can get by dual booting different 
configurations.  All that takes is the disk space for the install. 
Having a second box would be helpful then, if you can get more than one 
box to Parsec.

I have a laptop with a T7200 2GHz and 1GB of RAM.  It's definitely not 
wonk-ass.
