"With 8 Gb of ram, I have no problem running 3 Xps, and 2 Windows 7, at the same time."

That's good to know. I'm in the market for a laptop to replace my desktop, and I want enough RAM to run multiple VMs like that. Was thinking I'd need to find one with 12 or 16GB, which rules out MacBooks (unless I get an expensive 3rd party 2x8GB RAM upgrade). But maybe not.

I configure XP to have 512MB of ram, and Windows 7 to have 1 GB. This works fine if all you are running is the OS and a browser. I will re-iterate that an SSD is the important factor because it cuts the VM startup time by 75% in my experience.
