Hello joy,
I too have been frustrated by this predicament.
I'm an it consultant and have the need to run at least 8 virtual machines at the same time(I'm ignoring the comments about why you need that much memory though - that always frustrates me on boards like this).
I run VMware fusion and have windows 2012 servers with 1gb ram and one processor and I would love to assign MORE RAM! The only way I've been able to get them running (with 16gb ram) was to replace my hard drive with an ssd(I've even taken out the DVD to raid 0 my drives but that does come with other problems so be aware).
I yearn for he day this happens too, until then I'll have to stick with my current MBP (which is a shame as I'm away in the usa and could have picked one up cheaper than the uk) or move to windows laptops.
Here's hoping,

You are using the wrong tool for the job, similar to using a hand shovel to dig a canal. Get the proper tool to meet your high-memory requirements rather than trying to use an inappropriate tool. As you are finding out it is difficult to cut down a 100 ft Douglas Fir tree with a coping saw.
