Well this can be sound like Spam... but I only get the better things =D =D =D
Well the only I say this it's I stay using parallels 7 and well works very nice, but in example expensive games like Metro 2033 don't works, because Parallels 7 don't have support to directX, the good thing of the 8 it's the support for this technology, and a nice thing you can increase up 1Gb of Video... don't care the machine don't drops down the FPS and runs very very smoothly ...
My suggestions if you have a mac mini... put 8Gb of Ram, I stay using about a year 4Gb and tuns fine, sometimes the computer freeze for a second, but really I never was of Mac, but this machine for work whit GLbasic it's the best option "cheaper" and you can work whit very huge apps into windows
I'm surprised a Mac Mini would be able to get to 8GB - Would cost a lot too!
Ram is cheap in this time !

Yes, but getting Apple to fit it, unless you can take the machine apart yourself...
No MrTatoad the memory of mac not it's genuine, it's clone... well it's from OWC, they are specialist in Mac, they are in USa, a module can cost about 30$,it's very cheaper...
About mac mini, the last model support 16Gb of Ram, the very old, I think only support 4 Gb, but mine it's 2009 Later... it's a bit old, but really for work making games runs very pretty...
