Yes point taken, I've been looking at Macs for quite a while and have read
the various discussions. I went for 8GB so will be fine.

Hi,
Don't want to turn this into a windows desgussion, but if you are going to
install windows 7 on vmware you will need a large amount of ram. I recommend
no less than 4 gb, with at least 2 gb given to the virtual machine.
Otherwise both the performance of mac and windows will be slow.
Hope this is useful
