Hello, I am a Rehabilitation Technologist with my states vocational rehabilitation agency. I am working with a consumer who has a MacBook Pro core i5 w/4gb RAM early 2011 model. He has bootcamp setup and runs the newest version of OSX and Windows 8.1 through BootCamp. Then has the VMPlayer program on Windows 8.1 where he runs virtual machines of Server 2008, 2012 and 2003. He uses JAWS screen reader on the windows side and voiceover on the mac side; He is complaining of poor performance once on the virtual servers. I am wondering if it would make more sense to have him use VM Fusion to run all other of the OS' as virtual machines from the mac side instead of his current setup? I am thinking upgrading his ram to the MAX 8GB would be helpful.
Any guidance or input on this would be greatly appreciated, I have very limited knowledge in all of this; please let me know if I can clarify or anything.
Thanks!
Justin
