Good Virtualization software only takes more CPU cycles.
If you have enough CPU power, you dont have anything to worry about.
The only concern is that you are limited to use only IP features of asterisk,
you can not install and use a zapata card, or any other voice card, since
For the rest, I have a couple of systems working just fine with?* and GSM.
And I would recommend to use an ESX server instead of VirtualPC.

It might be possible, but it is not recommended in the least. Voice
traffic needs to be near real time. Most emulators can not provide that
level of support. Your time is worth a certain amount of money, consider
what it is worth, and then decide if it is worth it for you to buy
someones rejected hardware to save you the time spent in false starts
and tracking down problems. Then consider the amount of ill will you
will garner here by using up valuable resources answering questions
about your system and functionality that is broken due to the non
realtime nature of an emulator.
So to wrap up, it might be possible. You will waste a lot of time trying
to make it work up to expectations. You can save that time by buying
crap hardware or better.
