Hi,

I would suggest the following

How many servers? --> 1
Distributed/Single? --> Single
What RAM --> 16 GB
I am assuming you are going to use a 64 bit Machine, with atleast a quad-core processor.

If you are using a Windows server, you can install all the other softwares like FM, Transformer in the same server.
In case you are using a Linux machine, Desktop components need to install in a Windows workstation.

Regards,
Rahul
