VMWare GSX server would give you better performance (probably enough to run asterisk in the VM); however, it does not meet your criteria for a couple reasons: 1) Windows cannot be used as the host environment 2) It costs as much as a machine sufficient to run asterisk for your purposes. If you are not interfacing to any hardware devices you might be able to get asterisk compiling with MinGW or Cygwin and running natively in Win32. You would not have zaptel timing, so MusicOnHold, MeetMe, etc. are all out unless you somehow emulate the functionality of zaprtc or ztdummy under windows. I am sure there are a lot of other issues compiling under Win32 that will come up as well, but still it may be possible.
