Wanted to chime into the thread again. I've since upgraded RAM to 16 GB with 2 sticks of 8 GB (from Amazon) and relatively inexpensive. The change is significant.
Also running Parallels 8 in lieu of Bootcamp and really like using in side-by-side Win 7 Pro. Also run AutoCAD 2014 and Revit 2014 with no problems. To make it a "true" Win 7 machine, I sometimes plug in an old PC keyboard for any screen capturing or other PC commands.
The only thing I've noticed with Chief X4 is when I'm rendering a large file, the iMac makes a little noise while it's Raytracing the image. Also becomes a little warmer than normal along the top vents.
Other than these small insignificant details, the Mac is everything I need in a personal computer. Can't wait until Chief for Mac becomes available in 2014 and will upgrade immediately.Dave Herber
