I have a late 2009 13 inch Macbook Pro with a 2.26 GHZ processor and 8 gigs of ram. I run Windows 7 under Fusion and OSX side by side with Voice Over and Jaws 12 both running. I have had several applications running on both sides at once very successfully. JAWS still crackles and slightly stutters minimally and quite randomly. If you're going to open it up, why not max it out. I used a third part 8 gig ram kit. I don't remember the brand, but as long as it has the same specs, it will do the trick.
