Hi Kliphton, When looking at the VM settings for processor and memory, the numbers there don't add up. For instance, I have a i7 with 2 cores in my MacBook Air, but I have the option to select 1, 2, or 4cores. For memory, I have 8 GB, but settings report that 2048 mb = 21%, and 3072 mb (3gb)

I have an I7 dual core processor and 8 GB of ram on my MBA. Fusion has alotted 1 core and 2GB to the Windows7 VM as the default setup. Is there any significant improvement in performance if I were to increase the ram alottment, say, to 3GB? Actually, the performance is fine, just a little JAWS

I use jaws and windows for the same thing, as I have to run my business from home. But I use 4 gigs of ram, and experience no choppyness. Remember, office from 2007 and above, needs at least 1 gig of ram to perform properly, and jaws another gig. So that may be where your choppyness is
