70-680: Practicing via Virtual Machines

Lampton

I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction for setting up a lab for the 70-680.

I have only one computer:

Home Premium 64-Bit
i7 930 @ 2.8 GHz
6GB RAM
Radeon HD 5800 Series

If anyone has any tips or links to doing this it would be greatly appreciated. If my question needs clarification feel free to yell at me.

I'd go with Virtual Box. Load up a DC and a client. You can use evaluation copies for labbing or get a technet subscription. The MS press book is ok for this exam, but Poulton's is better. Lab up ALL of the exam objectives. Going through some of the 686 exam material will help, too.
