8 gigabytes

I just finished upgrading my MacBook Pro to 8 gigabytes of memory. That ought to allow me to run a few different VMware virtual machines at once (I use all this RAM to slice it up into virtual machines for developing software for different operating systems). In particular, I just bumped Windows 7's memory allotment to 2 gigabytes. Maybe it'll quit running like a dog...

Note, BTW, that WIndows XP runs just fine in 512 megabytes of memory.
