Q: Running windows
I need to run windows somehow or another as the mac version of Dragon dictate stinks. I do not have enough RAM to run it in a virtual machine as the windows version requires 8gb to run properly, which is all of the RAM I currently have. If I run in bootcamp I have to restart the mac each time to run in windows, yes? Thoughts and/or alternatives?
Thanks.

Dictate 4 requires 4GB of RAM and 3GB of space.
So not sure where you are getting the 8GB figure. In any case, If you don{t want to run Windows in a virtual machine, Bootcamp is the only other option to run Windows on a Mac.

Note, that you will need a valid copy, and license for whatever version of Windows you want to run.
