    Should you nicely. Has everything included for a windos server,

    * Apache 2.2.3
    * MySQL 5.0.27
    * PHP 5.2.0 & PHP 4.4.4
    * phpMyAdmin 2.9.1.1
    * FileZilla FTP Server 0.9.20
    * OpenSSL 0.9.8d

    Dont forget to change mysql root password as it is usually set to null upon default install

    You could also use something called wamp. Personally I use LAMP, with linux.

    Running off a USB drive : PortableWebApp : http://portablewebap.com/

    Also, I think WAMPServer is not too resource hogging. How much RAM do you have?
