For those guys experienced in running VMs
what is the bare minimum processor speed to run only one virtual machine VM comfortably in vmware on a laptop
i ask because i had to choose earlier between getting a laptop(with 8gb ram) with either processors

-Celeron B820 1.7 Ghz 2 cores dual core HD Graphics with VTX virtualization
or
-Core i3 2370m 2.4 Ghz 2 cores 4 threads hyperthreading HD graphics 3000 with VTX virtualization
(i have made up my mind now to get this core i3 laptop )
and i plan on running only one VM at a time not multiple VMs
VMware Workstation 9 System Requirements state that
PC requirements:
System requirements:
64-bit x86 Intel Core™ Solo Processor or equivalent, AMD Athlon™ 64 FX Dual Core Processor or equivalent 1.3GHz or faster core speed
2GB RAM minimum/ 4GB RAM recommended
but this is i feel too minimum requirements asked by VMware and i dont have any experience in running VMs on any machines. So what is the BARE minimum processor speed to run one VM.
