I used to use vmware player and then vmware server but like you said its pretty heavy, especially on a machine that is about half the specs of what you tested. Then I tried virtualbox and set up and configuration was very easy. It was also a lot lighter on system resources too. So I've been using virtualbox now for creating and running vm's. Note: these vm's are just for my personal use on a my home PC, so I don't have the requirements that others would have of running servers from them.
