[Equest-users] eQuest on Mac

[A Duurvoort]

My current setup: MacBook Pro, 2.4GHz Intel, 8GB RAM. VMWare Fusion,
Windows 7 x86. Runs AutoCad 2010, eQuest, coil/fan selection, and Google
sketchup (trying to learn the EnergyPlus plugin! NOT EASY, is there a forum
for that??)

Cheapest way I have found is to use a bootcamp partition to run Windows XP
32-bit. XP Pro is my favorite windows flavor, but Windows 7 (x86) will work
fine also to run eQuest.

If you have some cash, VMWare Fusion works great, better and faster than
the other VM programs I've tried. It can even run your existing bootcamp
partition without a reboot. using 32-bit OS seems to play better with
eQuest.
