VMware Workstation question

has anyone familiar with VMware Workstation? I want some version for older
hardware ( Cel 2.6GHz,1Gb RAM, win XP), so the last version v7.0 probably is
not the right choice, it mainly for new dual dual-core processors, Vista.
There is also previous versions VMware workstation available: 6.5, 6.0, 5.5,
5.0, 4.5
The install pack also significantly different, from 92mb to >600mb for
latest vers.
Anyone know which version would be OK?

VMware may have sold the product but did'nt mfg the hardware,probably
intel.Try intel.com/downloads,for updates.

No. My question was which version from VMware Workstation will better suit.
