Will Vmware workstation or server work on Intel atom?

Question

Am about to get a new laptop, due to it been very light, but i want to know if vmware workstation or server will work on the new Intel Atom 1.6ghz with 1gb memory

Answer 1

No doubt VMWare can be installed on your laptop, however the Atom processor, low speed and lack of RAM will kill any usefulness it might have.

Unless you intend to run very light linux applications on it.
