WHQL Hardware requirement

Experts,

I am reading the hardware requirement of WHQL
certification for NDIS intermediate driver. Looks like
it need high end server for test on W2K3: four
processors and 6GB RAM, support S1&S4 or S3&S4.

I guess I know the answer, but I still want to answer:

do I really need meet this requirement to perform HCT
test for IM driver? This is big investment for me.

I am also looking for the ideal system from Microsoft
Catalog in case I have to meet their requirement, but
I am kind of lost there, I don’t know if the system
listed really meet the requirement especially when it
comes to power state.

Can anybody here recommend a server that works on IM
driver HCT test?

Thanks in advance!
William
