Thats what I have at work (HP equiv). It feels SO SLOW compared to my mac, but I think it's the disk thats really making a difference. > It runs so fast it nearly runs backward !

Depends how many VM's you run. I usually just run a single 4GB 64bit windows 7 machine, which is fine. I used to run 2 heavy VM's on my mac mini - windows server with exchange, sql and AD. 3GB each (8GB machine). Ran fine, but had them running off seperate firewire disks... > > Thought it would be cheaper to upgrade with 3rd party memory - but looks > like that maybe not an option on MBP Retina, maybe I should change my order. > Nope, you can't change the ram once you get it. Nor the disk. If you have the money, get 16. 8, however, is fine for me (but I'd get 16 only 'cos I'd want the machine to last 3-4 years!!)
