[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 995572, member: 71075"] I virtualize with less (2.1C2D/4GB RAM) using VirtualBox and it runs well. You should be fine but this will depend on the applications you use inside of your VM. Unless you use VirtualBox ;). I do agree though - the benefits of running through virtualization can be "offset" by the fact that you sometimes have to pay extra to virtualize. If that is a drawback, there is always BootCamp.
