As a data point, VCAP Test Track is a DCA simulation/reproduction run at VMworld and various VMUG events. It includes all of the components used by the DCA exam, and it was developed and runs on a 3-year-old laptop with an i7 CPU, 16GB RAM and a SSD drive. I have run it on a 7200RPM drive which is fine but increased boot time and VM deploy/create time.
