I am trying to determine my best option for
a Mac for a PT24 Mix+ system. Given the pci
slot limitations and all the other issues
of G3s/G4s I would like to get a 9600. The
9600/300 and 9600/350 systems are hard to
find and generally pretty expensive. The
9600/200s are much easier to find.
I'd like to know what limitations /
performance problems I might have with the
200 Mhz model. I would also like to know
if a G3 upgrade (NewerTech for example) would
be advisable for the 9600/200 systems and
if Digi has approved any of these upgrades.
I posted similar questions to daw-mac. One
response suggested that the 9600/200 may be
a bit slow with version 5 of Protools (which
I really want to get). I'd like to know
if others feel this would be the case, and
if so, whether a G3 upgrade would help.
Thanks in advance for any response...of
course if anyone out there has a great deal
on a 9600/300 that's be even better http://www.digidesign.com/ubb/images/icons/smile.gif
