(I've got 1 gig on a 2.0 Core Duo)
Install was almost entirely painless, but figuring out how to configure the USB ports rquired jumping through a few hoops. Now that it's all set up, I haven't had to think twice about anything. Just open Fusion, plug in the powertap to the cradle and hit download.
So yeah, I highly recommend Fusion for Cycling Peaks.
chass, what is 'Fusion'? Is that some Windows emulation voodoo software? I'm all Macs here, I'm typing this on a 2.0 Core Duo Mac laptop, that's the computer I'd like to use with the cycling software (rather than the deskbound iMacs and Towers in my office).
