    I did a quick search and didn't really see the answer I was looking for.

    So I was thinking about unloading Microsoft SQL Express and IIS off my machine to an image of Windows Server 2003 via Virtual Box. I have them running now and it doesn't seem like they are using much resources but I'm sure they have to be using some. I guess I am trying to keep my normal desktop as clean as I can for gaming.

    I don't need the VM running 24/7 and performance isn't really a big deal since I am mostly running debugs for customers or configuring databases before installs.

    Any Thoughts?
