Default Do they Make a quad core mac with PCIx slots?

Hey guys... Do they make a Quad Core mac that can run a PCIx HD rig?

I am a PC guy, so sorry if this is a stupid question...


Thanks

It's not a stupid question. It's one that even mac people often want an answer to.

While there is no mac that can do this, there is a solution in the form of an expansion chassis that enables you to use PCIx cards with a PCIe Mac.
http://www3.digidesign.com/index.cfm...00&itemid=5031

The chassis is made by Magma. I installed two of these systems for one of my clients, and they work incredibly well. We are using them with 8-core macs.

This chassis also enables you to utilize up to 6 cards to form a very powerful expanded system.
