Same problem here.. 8GB and Sata HD just 2 duo core, to VM it's too much, just one windows 7 with 1GB of RAM, single virtual core. Always stay with 1,5GB of inactive RAM that appear that is not freed in time to things that need it, making a lot of swap and letting things slow.
(my first machine, Apple II+, I think a single core with 8Mhz on turbo mode and maybe 64Kb of RAMŠ My first IDE HD with 10MB?)
