I do. Works fine, and all my sessions are 96kHz. Rarely (like every couple of months) I will get an error message indicating that Pro Tools has lost communications with Expansion|HD. When this happens I save the session, restart and I'm back in business (This problem is not unique to 7.4).

bobo-
My signature (just updated) says most of it. I run OS 10.5.4. My Expansion|HD is fully loaded with 1 HD card and 5 Accel cards. The only cards in the Mac Pro backplane other than what came with the Mac are the link card to the expansion chassis and a Sonnet eSATA card. I use four internal disk drives: The stock 250 GB drive that came with the Mac Pro as the system drive, a 500 GB Seagate drive for storage purposes, a 250 GB Raptor drive on which I keep all my sessions, and a 150 GB Raptor drive on which I keep all my samples. I have an external Wiebetech RTX100H-Q-0 drive bay attached to the eSATA card into which I insert OEM disk drives for backup and off site storage of sessions.

My A/D is the Digi 96 I/O.

Waves 6 runs fine on my system with the occasional necessity to close and reopen the session because the Waves GUI control buttons become inactive (I have had this problem with every version of Waves and PT that I have had).

Let me know if you have any more questions.
