Too bad about requiring Boot Camp to take advantage of the GPU, though. That's obviously a limitation of the various virtual machine softwares rather than vReveal. Maybe I should try it, but as long as vReveal will run, even if slower, I will probably use the VMs I've got Windows installed in for now. Maybe you all will make a native Mac version one of these days, I hope! Thanks, Mike. I think you’ve saved me a lot of beating my head against the wall here.

(All the CUDA-enabled video cards are listed here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_learn_products.html As you can see, your GeForce GT 130 is among them.) Of course, vReveal runs just fine in a virtual environment thanks to your system's CPU. However, if you'd like to try out GPU-acceleration of vReveal on your Mac, then you'll want to use Boot Camp. Here's the relative performance of different GPUs versus a dual-core Intel CPU. (FYI, your GPU has 32 cores.) http://vreveal.com/gpu Best, Mike Sonders Product Manager vReveal Hi, Kat,
