I'm still up in the air as to which laptop I'm going to buy to tune my phantom e6x.



A friend is selling his G4 PowerBook for a pretty good price and he says the new version of Virtual PC is really stout.



Anyways, does anyone have experience using the Halwin software on a Mac? My other laptop choice is an IBM ThinkPad T40...

dl the software and see. you still need a serial port to connect to the ecu

Well, I don't have an e6x or a laptop yet, that's why I was asking. There are USB-serial connectors I can use though.

if you can get the usb serial adapter to work then good luck... being that i'm a hardcore mac user i would go with the powerbook, but i would download the software and see how it runs on the powerbook with virtualpc first.... it's not graphically intense so it should be ok...



just so you know the only things that don't run well on virtual pc are games, other than that it runs just as fast as any pc i've ever been on just so long as you make sure you're giving it a healthy amount of system memory... so basically put the full gig that fits in the powerbook in and you should be ok then dedicate like 512 to running virtual pc...

The friend I was telling you about, he got an invisible "dent" in his case and got reimbursed for the damage. There's nothing really wrong with it and it's still under warranty, but he's decided to get a 12" instead.



I love the PowerBooks...they've the best laptop I've used. I just want one I can tune my ECU with as well...you don't have a Haltech do you? Hehe.
