With me using all 4 cores of my CPU which is an Intel Core I5 being it a
Macbook Pro 13 inch 2012 model and 1 GB of memory which is the default
when creating a Windows 7 virtual machine didn't adversely affect the
performance on both sides.

I'm about to go the VMWare Fusion route myself. I have bootcamp running
great, but want to have them both. My question: How does setting four
cores affect the Mac side? I have an iMac with an intel I5 4core
processor running at 2.5 ghz and 8gb ram. I want to find an optimum for
VM and Mac. So, I'm wondering, if I give ample resources to VMWare, will
it adversly affect the Mac side? Like, if I give two cores and 4gb ram
to VMWare, does that hinder Mac performance? I guess I don't completly
understand the whole Virtual machine thing.
Can you expound on this a little?

I want to tell you all that I finally bit the bullet and purchased
Vmware Fusion over the weekend after contemplating whether to go down
the Bootcamp root or not. I felt unsafe doing it on my own and not
having sighted assistance all the time that I decided against it and
went down the Fusion root.
I have to say I am very pleased with the product. My virtual machines,
if set to 4 processors and the recommended memory when setting up the
virtual machine run near natively to say the least.
So if you want the best of both worlds and you are in a similar
situation then I suggest you spend the 40 quid and get Fusion.
