Re: Modern motherboard for original PCI HD Core and Process cards

On the plus side, it has 4 PCI slots and 3 PCIe, Sata and supports an Intel I7.
On the minus side, the MB requires a bit of modification to get the PCI cards to fit. (Dremel tool to the rescue) Also, no USB3 and no on-board Firewire.
I've added a FW card to the system, only good for transferring files, can't run a session off it yet. I'll continue to trouble shoot that.
For now, my HD3 Accel lives on, running great PT9 HD on Win 7.
I'll likely add a fourth Accel card.
I do miss my Mac but getting this rig operational has been worthwhile.
good luck

Did you have to dremel your motherboard or you core/process card.
