Dave : With my Flex-1500 I had been successfully running Powersdr on a late-2009 Uni-Body Macbook with WIN 7 32-bit, until i bought a dedicated quad-core PC laptop for for Ham Radio use. I’m assuming that your Mini is at least a dual-core (Intel Core Solo Mini’s are quite rare) so you should be fine.
One of the reasons that Macs run Windows quit well is that you can’t buy a Mac with Windows pre installed, so you have to do a clean install. You don't end up with all of the software junk that the computer vendors include with new PCs. Also I think that the Mac Windows drivers are quite good, so Mac's make a decent and stable platform to run Windows. Which Flex Radio are you thinking of ?

I'm wondering if my present computer is adequate. I am running Windows 7/64 bit on a Mac-Mini. Yes, I am one of those. I believe the Mac hardware runs Windows faster and more reliably than does the PC hardware. No, I'm not trying to start a discussion about this concept. I just want to know if I can run the radio with it., Thanks & 73, Dave, K4TO _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
