Yes, I do. I have 8GB Macbook Pro with 2 RAC clusters. One is Linux
cluster and another is Solaris x86 clusters. Each 2 node cluster, and I use
iSCSI, which is a third smaller VM. I have not started all 6 VMs concurrently
but With three VMs running, I don't see much performance issues. I am in the
process of adding third node to these clusters at this point.
Only issue I see is that before you alter MAC to sleep mode, you
need to suspend VMs in a specific order (RAC VMs and then iSCSI VM). Otherwise,
MAC doesn't come back from sleep mode properly. I didn't really troubleshoot,
just observed it..
Cheers

Yes,
MacbookPro 13" here.
can hold up to 8GB memory.
Virtualbox is quite fine - it can do everything I need
(probably more).
by default, the VMs reside on an external Disk attached
with FireWire (quite more expensive, but faster and more stable in terms of
IO than USB2)
What is 'lot of' ? ;-)

Coming back to my original question, does
anyone run lot of VMs on MacBook pro? Does it perform well enough?
