I also run 6.4.1 mix plus, G4 dual 800. I have a 2nd G4 that I run Kontakt or whatever I need at the time through a Digi001 or an RME card. I recently picked up a very cheap PC ($300)! and bought the competitive crossgrade offer for Giga 3. I put my RME card in it and was shocked at how well it works! I don't push it to much, just some different flavors. I really like Giga and I'm an old mac user.

I haven't tried Kontakt 2 as a RTAS plug yet. Version 1.5 seemed buggy and I kind of gave up on running anything with Protools exept the Very Efficient Reason!! Speaking of Reason, CDxtract will convert giga & Kontakt files to its NNXT Sampler. Works pretty well most of the time.

Kontakt works great on its own and it sure is nice not bogging down my Mix System. When I don't need kontakt My 2nd G4 runs Protools LE sitting idol with other plugs, Spectrasonic's stuff / Sampletank_mostly Crap! Sometimes A Reverb or Two.
