Visual Studio can be a beast, and it will eat whatever you give it. Those specs (4 GB for OS X, 4 GB for Windows/VS) should work, but I'd say 16 GB is "ideal."

Having an SSD will help as swap can be utilised to make up for any deficiencies you might see with RAM. Although expect slightly longer loading times than you're used to running on bare metal.
