I run on 17" MBP with two SSD drives, one for each os and 8 GB ram and i7.

Well i have a MBP i7 13" and using solidworks in VM and I tried using it with several models and seems ot work just fine. I am sure major assemblies will bog but piece parts and even importing things from IGS models went ok.

I will play with it some more, I am a SW user for years so I am familiar with it. But so far it seems very usable. I will export to stl then drag & drop over into the mac space for printing

I didn't know there was a decent Mac version of SW. 3D graphics programs have always been slower to be ported to Mac.
