Please AVID...do a NAB special one week only PCI to PCIe Frank and I both want to upgrade!!!

Make us happy!!!

I just talked with Nate over at Magma and was told that the only Magma chassis that will work correctly with Pro Tools is the PE6R4 or PE6R4I.
He said this is the only chassis that will run 64bit. He said Pro Tools PCI-e and PICx cards are 64bit. (I always thought PCIx cards were 32bit).
He said if you use any other chasis you will be running at 32bit and have latency issues.
The older model chassis that some are getting and upgrading with new controllerboards will have the same issues.
Now, this is what I have been told. I know alot of guys are using various configuartions and seeming to like them, so I don't know from using one, only sharing the info.
