Hello Eric This has been repeatedly answered over the last few days. There is no reason why you shouldn't upgrade.
V4 is significantly faster, even with smaller amounts of memory. Our MacBook (2007 vintage) has 2GB of RAM but it flies along with Fusion 4 and XP Pro SP3. I'm not going to go down the Windows road; but the answer to your question is that, if you upgrade properly rather than the "bodge-it-and-leggit method, you should have no problems.

If Moving to VM 4.1 will the ram needs slow down the Mac side? I'm reading how much faster VM 4 is then VM 3. In my unsuccessful efforts I did use it a bit. It seemed to load faster but the actual windows speed in the VM seemed more sluggish. I don't want to hurt my mac performance to get the Guest working correctly. I will only have 4 Gigs of ram total to use. tips are truly appreciated. <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to [email protected] You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/>.
