I was going to wait for the next-gen protools hardware from Avid. I can buy a Macpro for less you say? Not configured how I would want it. Or some put their PCI(x) cards into a $2000 magma chassis. Why spend $6000 for a card exchange just to have to buy a new $5000 computer? Yeah, I know many of you did just that. I passed on the "opportunity" to buy all new (or trade up) PCI(x) HD cards for PCIe at every opportunity. ![]() But I was jumping through hoops and any failure of any machine would be catastrophic for my productivity. BUT everything worked, my library was well organized and productive, and I made some pretty impressive sounding records. I also had Gigastudio running on the WinXP slave - and that machine was tired. I was able to work, but it required some thought - multiple slaves. To survive, I enlisted (2) slave computers - both underpowered, and both were running VEPro, and hosting VST and AU virtual instruments. My story begins with an HD3 system in a G5/2.7DP with 8GB ram. This is going to be a VERY long post, as there is lots to share. There have been many reports about successful hackintosh builds, and I want to share my story, hoping it will help the community, just as others have helped me. ![]()
