Both will work. If you only need this setup as a learning experience I
would use VPC. It is much more friendly to work with than Virtual Server,
and would do the job.

You need enough memory to have all the vms running together without
starving the host OS. Server 2003 runs comfortably in 512M for a test DC or
file server. You should be able to run 3 guests (Server 2003 and/or XP) with
4G in the host.
