Impressive to say the least. I will be looking for better hardware soon.

 Hi Jim --

Actually I can run  simultaneously  only four VMs totaling 8GB of RAM +
hosting Win8 Prof system with several Visual Studio instances and some other
software: "bottle-neck" is RAM, CPU usage is usually less than 25%. I
haven't used dynamic memory allocation per VM in VMs settings - I have just
allocated fixed amount of RAM at start-up for each VM as I rarely need more
than four VMs active and more than two VMs loaded with real processing work.
Having allocated fixed memory at VM start-up should make  VMs running
quicker I expect...

Yes, all that software runs on ASUS N76Vz laptop: i7/12GB RAM, 256GB SSD
 system disk and 1TB "archive"/VHDs hosting HDD.

Thank you.

my old desktop system and old notebook system and their HDDs ported into
virtual machines and VHDs and I'm running them now in Client Hyper-V when I
need to get some legacy data/files, which I haven't migrated to my new
system. I have also Ubuntu 12.04 LTS running under Client Hyper-V as well as
Win7-64 and Win7-32 test VMs etc...
