No issues.....you can even upgrade your RAM to a max of 16GB....

As long as your models are typically smaller than about 100 Meg, you should be fine.
If your models are often larger, you might want to think about adding RAM. It's pretty cheap these days.
I assume you're upgrading from XP? If so, a good indicator is how often you crash or run out of memory. If you never ran out of memory in XP, you probably don't need it for 7.
But the more RAM you have, the more you can keep open at one time. Adding RAM doesn't make an individual program go any faster, but it does make it quicker to swap between, say Revit, Outlook, and Word.
I finally got a box that works!.
HP Z400 running win 7-64. No real problems I've run across.
(other box specs listed on sig line)
Oh and I can drop up to 24 gigs in this one (I think. Running 18 right now)
