I haven't noticed any difference at al. I did however, upgrade to 4g of RAM, ustto be safe. I can't beleive how many things I can have running concurrently and not notice any slowdown.

it does work with 6.01 (Parallels) but I have a glitch with the IR PRO. it did not load the driver I think. I will try to figure it out when I get a moment

I am having a $HI+ load of issues with ID6.1 on my laptop.

Windows XP SP2 3.0G processor 2 G of ram and after about an hour or so... the system resources goes to 100% doing things like drag and drop or pasting commands. It slows to the point where I hit Ctrl V and wait up to 10 seconds before I see the results on screen. Its annoying the crap out of me.

Yesterday I loaded a file onto a K3 with a camera object and the emulator crashed everytime I tried to use it.
The camera object was for a pansonic and on the first page of the config. I loaded it into the K3 and could not use the links at the bottom of the page. Next thing I know I got a windows error from the K3 itself. "Fatal Application Error." After which I could not upload to the 3 on the network. Hooking up to the unit via USB... had to reload the firmware. Then download my config sans camera before it booted all the way. What a pain in the...

Anyways the same camera comes up fin on the K4 in the next room.

But back to the main bitch... I guess I need another laptop just to use ID 6.1. The bogging down frustrates the crap out me.

But let me put the system in perspective....
2RP6s (Had to change after we confirmed that that the XP8 had an unacceptable LAG)
2K4s
2k3s
4T2cs

Every T2c can control any zone in the house.
The K4s do 4 zones each
and the K3s are 1 and and 2 a piece.

There is a ton of graphic work in the file and more serial then I like to deal with.

Basically I have resorted to saving the file and shutting down the program every so often. When it comes back up its fine for a while. But the more things I am trying to do... the sooner it slows to a crawl. When it does I check the task manager and there is ID6 pegging system processes at 100%.

I have a mac Mini down stairs that is more of a toy to me then anything else. But you guys seems to swear by MACs.

Maybe I just need a dual core system to keep ID6 happy.

But as for the other glitches... over to the bug thread.

The IR-PRO now works again with Parallels 3.0 so I could recommend a MacBook still. Parallels is configured to use the Boot Camp partition so if there was an issue I could boot directly into Windows XP.

I have never programmed an RTI remote without an Apple and never had an issue. I use a MacBook Pro and the beta version of Boot Camp from Apple. Works amazing, I have been doing it for over a year now and done at least 40 or more systems, some quite large.

One of my guys is using a white MacBook with VMware Fusion, also flawless.

I highly recommend the Apple.

Hope this helps...

Just an update...

I installed VMWARE Fusion on my MacBOOK and have successfully connected to an updated my RTI remote.

All is good.

VM Fusion and a MacBOOK.... Highly recommneded!!;)
