Sure. You might not get all the bells and whistles, but I was running
VMware on P4 systems with a gig of memory a decade ago. The i3 is
hyperthreaded and has 4 cores. Memory might be tight for newer versions
of Windows, but I run Win8 in a VM with about 1.5 GB of memory allocated
out of 6 GB. If I don’t tax the system by running Chrome and a bunch of
other stuff all at once with the VM, it performs just fine.

I’m not sure if CS6 requires a 64-bit OS or not - I didn’t think it did,
but maybe that’s something new.
