Re: Quad Macs... released today.
Yeah, this is going to be incredible. I can't wait to see if it works with PT7 to run an enormous amount of plug-ins. On another note, the PowerBooks received a very pathetic upgrade today.

Yes but PCI express only... not for PT HD
We're stuck with a dual 2.7 for PT. We will have to wait for PT HD cards with PCI express... or a PCI Express to PCI expansion chassis. JC |

Re: Quad Macs... released today.
The HD cards should still work in PCI Express slots just like they worked in the PCI-X slots on the old G5.

Digi, any word on compatability?
I'm on Mix and looking to upgrade, but I'm not about to paint myself into a corner again by being stuck with old tech in an ever changing world if I'm going to be smacking down over $10k to upgrade... |

from the site http://www.interfacebus.com/Design_C...I_Express.html
"Common Questions from up-scale PC builders and gamers: 1 Can I use a PCI card in a PCI Express card slot; No the electrical and physical interfaces are completely different. 2 Can I use a PCI Express card in a PCI card slot; No electrical and physical interfaces are completely different." thanks Steve! |

Yes, the only way you'll get a PT HD card into a PCI Express slot is with a big mallet, and results are not guaranteed.
Here's a great page on PCI Express for anyone interested in coming up to speed on the topic... http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd....257014006BC124 Lee Blaske |

This can only mean one thing.
Digi must be working on PCI Express cards. Will the new Intel Macs use the Express slots too? Don't ya just love it. |

Re: Quad Macs... released today.
So will Digi be releasing PCIe cards soon or will Magma come up with a PCIe card that will allow you to use your "older" Digi HD cards in a chasis?
I think with Apple going forward with PCIe instead of the PCI-X slots will help push Digi ahead since most newer PC motherboards also have PCIe slots. Also thanks for the link Lee that is some interesting reading.
