Poker on the Mac

Wonder how many other players out there are using a Mac for their Poker client and what their set up was? Are you using Mac tools? It was a tweet from Phil earlier this week that got me thinking. Although Stars and FT have very good Mac clients the other necessary tools seem to be largely Windows based.

My solution to all of this is that I run vmware fusion on my Mac Book Air and boot a windows virtual machine on top of the Mac within fusion. My windows virtual machine is XP with HM2 and all my poker clients and tools built in. I found HM2 a bit slow to start with till I tweaked the virtual machine config. I upped the virtual memory to 1.5GB and gave it 2 processor cores. It's all pretty straight forward with the hardest bit installing the windows OS. I quite like the vmware set up as it runs the windows virtual machine alongside my Mac applications. It all runs pretty sweet and is as quick as... Other options would be using Parallels which is a similar virtualisation solution to vmware or boot camp on the Mac to boot Windows natively but I don't like that Idea.

Would be interested to hear others view points.
