Do I need a farm card or a DSP card?
I'm running PT 6.2 on a Mac G4 OSX 10.2 and would like to increase my plug in processing power. As it stands now, I can run 2 DVerbs, a couple 3rd party plug ins and a handful of PT compressors and 4 band eq's and such before I reach my system capacity. I'm not concerned with track count as I rarely have sessions that require more than 12 mono and a few stereo tracks recording simultaneously, (I'm running two 888/24's) but like most of you using the older systems, I need more plug in capacity. My question is simple, do I need to add a mix farm card, even though I'm not interested right now in the increased I/O capacity it would provide, or am I seeking a mix DSP card (which I've never seen) or are they one and the same? Thank you in advance for any information.

I THINK (if memory serves) the DSP Farms had 4 chips, and the Mix Farms had 6...
