There are a number of people on the list who run Mac equipment without issue. I am sure some of them will respond to you, but I believe you will be fine as long as you are running Boot Camp. Parallels does not work with the Flex software. While I run Macs here, I have not run any of the Flex radios on a Mac box, I use one of Neal Campbell's custom built machines that has extremely low latency. That is the key to successfully running PowerSDR, the higher the latency, the worse experience you will have. You can look through the archives for Mac comments, there have been many.
