The amount of RAM Fusion uses is based on how much RAM you assign to a particular virtual machine. You have to shut down the virtual machine and then play with the Processors & RAM under Settings (Command-E). Of course you also have to judge whether more RAM on the Windows side will really make a difference. Main bottleneck I've found for Windows (virtual or otherwise) has been hard disk performance.

Hi list:

Firstly, this is part of a long-term plan to go into broadcasting.  It's just 
going to be easier, as far as I can tell, to broadcast on a virtual machine.

My macbook has just the base 2 gigs of RAM.  I want 4, as I believe that'ss the 
most it can support.  So, firstly, is it worth paying to have someone install 
the RAM for me?  I don't want to break my mac, obviously, but if it's going to 
be scary expensive I could probably find a techy friend to do it for me.

Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, how do I tell fusion to use more ram 
than its default? After all, there's no sense in upgrading the ram and then 
letting fusion use its default amount of memory.

Thanks in advance, guys.
