ACCEL DFI Work with Vista Yet ?

I happen to love gaming and laptops but know the last time i tried the DFI wouldn't work with my laptop. I havn't really bothered keeping up since my engine blew and the new one is getting built still.

I remember reading on their page they were making software to be vista compatible? Any progress there?

I just sold my old laptop I wanted to use for tuning (HP HDX dragon) and I'm torn between trying to find an old alienware with xp pro on it and something new which I really want with Vista and all the bells n whistles etc etc.

Use v6.1.3 and you shouldn't have any issues. I'd recommend uninstalling any version you have on there before installing this one.

Re: ACCEL DFI Work with Vista Yet ?

Great news. Last question is will it work with Mac Notebooks? I'm now looking at a nice macbook pro. I think I can dual boot xp or vista on there just in case but I guess it's just good to know.

thanks!

Here is a link to the Beta Calmap for Windows Vista. I heard it does work but it might be a little iffy on some PC's
