I'm running Revit 2011 & 2014 on a 2006 MacPro with updated graphics card, 20 gig Ram, 4 HDD in Boot Camp. (Win 7 64) I'm thinking that an iMac with a Fusion Drive, 16-32 gigs of Ram will run Revit faster. Any thoughts?

Wow, no one reads this forum? I can't believe this post have no responses.
I read tis article:
The ultimate workstation for Revit is a single-processor Intel quad-core i7 with over-clocking to upper 4 GHz range. The deep caches and multiple high cores of Xeons–like those in the new Mac Pro–don’t add any performance value for Revit like a faster clocked single CPU. And the i7 is able to be over-clocked to something approaching silly.
Any updates? I am considering buying my first Mac. I am looking at a retina iMac with the i7, 1TB SSD, 8GB of RAM ( will upgrade to 32 myself) and the Radeon M295x video.
I will likely order the machine this week. I am hoping that parallels will be the ticket over bootcamp and would love to hear your advice on venturing into the Mac realm. I've been a Windows user since windows was first released!
