Re: Should a 4 gig Mac stick with VM Fusion 3?
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.

Re: Should a 4 gig Mac stick with VM Fusion 3?
A 4 gb mac should work fine, that's what one of mine is, works great. Mymacbook and one of my mac minis only have 2 GB, even that works fine with fusion 4, though of course it's a bit slower at times.
