I have this on G5 (BIOS P56 07/10/2009):

I guess you could solve this problem by binding the services to specific IP...and use of IPsec VPN tunnel between you and PVE host would solve a lot of security issues.
1GB RAM is ok for testing. I would suggest at least 4GB or more RAM. See this document for more information (Best practices for KVM): http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/lnxinfo/v3r0m0/topic/liaat/liaatbestpractices_pdf.pdf
It's more effective when the VM's are the same.
AFAIK you'll need to install ssh server on windows machine in to get access from cli:

Same here on DL380 G5. However the installer won't start when using latest iso (2.3). You have to use 2.2 ISO and then upgrade it to the latest version.
