Re: Help! I don't want to part with my PT III system & 888's
A few things to keep in mind when shopping for upgrades:
1. Make sure any DSP farm cards you intend to use with the d24 or MIX core are G4 compatible before upgrading your computer. The AMCC chip needs to be rev QC or later (The chip will say s5933QC or s5933QE). If the chips says s5933Q, it means that the card is only compatible with beige G3 or older.
2. It is possible with MIX to run dual boot of OS9.2.2/PT5.1.3 and OS 10.3.x/PT6.4.1. If you want to be able to boot OS9, you must buy a G4 that does NOT have a FW800 port, the FW800 G4s will not boot OS9. PT 5.1.3 is no longer sold, so you may just want to go with 6.4.1 and forget OS9, unless you have some older plugins that work with floppy auth. (OSX and PT 6.4.1 do not support floppy auth, only ilok).
