I just recently posted a thread about which Mac I am going to buy next but I just wanted to get peoples opinion real quick on which specs should I be looking for running VMWare fusion 7. I currently have it installed on my late 09 MBP with 8GB of Ram and it's a C2D. I know ram takes a huge hit when I run Fusion because I see it go from 5GB down to as low as like 20MB, I have an app that shows the percentage.
Is RAM the only thing that is mainly used when running Fusion or is it better to get a quad core i5 or i7 over a dual core i5 in the newer macs? I will be getting an SSD with whatever setup I do end up buying just want to know if I should spend the extra money on faster processors when they might not be really needed.
Thanks all.
