70-640 Labs. Will my specs work?

I am studying for my 70-640 cert and have only 2 laptops at home. I don't have any money to buy new equipment. I was wondering if my laptop would be enough to host some virtual machines so I could do the labs. Below is my best laptop.

Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 @ 2 GHz
3 GB of RAM
300 GB hard drive

Any help would be appreciated.

    For the 70-640 (now 83-640 in most areas) I think the most you will need is 3 virtual machines, with your specs they should run, albeit slowly.

    They dropped the 83 series as there were too many issues.

    Otherwise, you should be fine with those specs with running 3 vm's which is really all you need.
