Pipe dream to run PT10 on a Dell Optiplex 980 i5?
Is it a pipe dream to think that I'll be able to run some version of ProTools 10 on a Dell Optiplex 980 i5 (650 3.2GHz) with 4GB of RAM on Windows 7?
Specs here: http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/del...-34280352.html I'm not mixin' national records on this particular machine - I have other tools for that. Just need to playback about 24 and record 2 at a time. Simple stuff - getting learning tapes together. But I want the convenience of using the PC at my job that I have admin access to. I still have an old Digidesign USB Micro audio interface too - will that work? I'm usually an all Mac guy. But I need a PC solution and I'm wondering what the most current software version is that I can use on this baby. I LOVE clip gain and am really hoping to be able to put 10 on this baby. Any help you could offer would be great. I know this isn't an 'approved' computer for 10 - I've read all that. I'm just wondering if people ARE using i5s successfully with PT10. Thanks!

Thanks in advance for any info. I was aware of the limitations of the micro. All I need is playback. Grant
