Upgraded the ram in my 2010 macbook pro, went without a hitch and things seem much slicker now, less beach ball and I can run Windows 7 under VMWare with 5GB of ram and it runs better than my quad core desktop.

Nice! doesn't compare to my Xserve though 2 x quad core Xeons and 16GB RAM, attached to a 16TB XRaid!

This the Windows Experience score on my desktop.

Processor: Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU @ 2.40GHz: 7.1

Memory (RAM) 4.00 GB: 7.1

Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 8300 GS: 3.6

Gaming graphics 2047 MB: 5.0

Primary HDD: 5.3

Nice! Only goes up to 7.9 on the index so the RAM and CPU are pretty top notch. Bit weird how the gaming graphics comes out on top of the graphics card?

That was my desktop PC, and this is from the Window 7 VM running under OSX/VMWare fusion V3, CPU is only using a single core of the dual core setup.

ProcessorIntel® Core™2 Duo CPU P8600 @ 2.40GHz: 4.5

Memory (RAM) 5.00 GB: 7.2

Graphics VMware SVGA 3D (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM): 4.2

Gaming graphics 288 MB: 4.0

Strange how a virtual graphics card gets a better score than a real one!
