I use virtual box jay. http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.18/VirtualBox-4.1.18-78361-OSX.dmg (direct dowload link)

Its free... runs fine.. and i can run VCDS and REVO SPS software on it and it works great.

What programs are you needing to run?

They will all be fine... Articad might be a bit slow if its really heavy graphics wise. Have you thought about installing Windows via a bootcamp partition? You should get better performance out of it for graphics/3d stuff.
