My understanding is that you can use a mac as long as it has windows installed (using a program like parallels, bootcamp or fusion). It's the software that the diablo programmers need. Of course this only would apply if you have a mac with an intel processor since the older power pc processors can't run windows from what I understand. Now the real question is: Who owns a Mac, but not a PC? I love my Macs, but still have 4 PC's in this house (don't ask why a household of four needs 6 computers).

I emailed the Diablo dealer in my town price shopping for a Predator.. To make a long story short, she said that she was in contact with Diablo about it and they said they were having "issues" with it on the 09....? i can't remember reading about any issues on here. everything seems to be working great with those that already have them. Is there anyone having issues or know about any issues with it at all? Thanks

The issue they are having is an "Out of Memory" pop-up that displays when changing the tune in the truck. You can follow Diablo's progress here: http://www.diablosport.com/index.php...wtopic&t=18303

MACs are great for graphic designers, beyond that, get a PC. That is what the world uses. If you get a MAC and find things are not compatible that is your own fault. There is a reason why there are aisles and aisles of software for PCs and one for MACs at the store.....

I am not a 2009 Ram owner, but I am a computer tech, so forgive me for butting in.
Macs are better at anything graphics, not just graphics designers. That means video editing, photo editing, 3D modeling, etc. They can do more in far less time with less hardware, even compared to the new Windows 7 (which is pretty fantastic, I'm using it right now).
That being said, you are correct. If you purchase a Mac, you should realize there may be times you run into compatibility issues. Thats part of the price you pay when you purchase the type of computer that about 15% of the nation uses. I would use exclusively Macs myself, except I enjoy building my own computers, which you can't do with a Mac.
If you have a copy of Windows XP/Vista/7 lying around, its easy to remedy though. Apple's Bootcamp program is included for free on all newer Macs, and it walks you through the dual booting Windows/Mac really nicely.
If you aren't willing to go to a little work to solve that compatibility issue yourself, then pay someone to do it for you. Just make sure you have a good, solid backup of your stuff (Time Machine is a GREAT backup program, use it!).
