First version with 32 tracks was 5.3.1 beta which i still have and use occasionally. Nitpicking, I know-just sayin'

Ohh..the Athlon XP days. It was like the wild west back then. Whole bunch of us were building and working on AMD Athlon XP and Opteron systems. Also, pretty sure your had 4GB of RAM, not 4MB. That would have been back in the old 486-DX days.

I requested a crossgrade to upgrade my ver Cubase Ai to Pro the other day mostly because I started out on Cubase fully intending to upgrade to the pro ver. I sent off the request and it was excepted..... but then I started to think for the AUS$508 what would be the overall benefit. So I spent the night thinking about it. the only thing I really like is Cubase's implementation of MIDI. But I have been using PT long enough now that that isn't really a benefit to me anymore. So I went and spent the money on plugs to extend PT. I figure for what I use Cubase Ai for which I must admit gets less use over time as PT more than covers the issue. I think it all comes down to workflow to me PT is streets ahead.

Though the standard memory size at that time was 1MB, I had 4MB on my shiny brand new awesome powerful 80386 that I believe ran at 25MHz clock speed. The 80486 days however were 16MB memory.

That leads me to a curious fact that the standard memory in 1998 and Pentium II processors was 64MB -- 20 years later, my iTrashcan has 64GB memory (or "thousandfold" compared to "Pentium II era")

Could have been. I had a Mix+ system afterwards that might have been 6.41 I believe.

4 Gb was probably more like it, I know that system ran for 2 days straight without a hiccup. People were amazed at how it sounded and the ease at how it worked. Bonnie Bramlett had sang a duet part after the fact, but the producer wouldn't let her listen to what the other singer had done (weird). She was all over the place timing & pitch wise. I did over 100 edits to her vocal track, used Pitch N Time and it turned out perfect.

Edit: I had a PC I built using a Compaq 386-25 motherboard with a 16 Mb Ram card, 80 Mb, 8-bit SCSI drive, 16 color VGA graphics. I ended up selling it for $5K to get married with almost 30 years ago. Times have changed.

Man, those 16 color VGA video cards were something back in the day. coming off the black and amber or black and green monochrome screens, it was like the beginning of the Wizard of OZ as everything suddenly jumps from black and white to color. We don't even think about how many colors our monitors produce any more. Probably couldn't count then if we did.

My 1st PC in about 1983 or so was a full size motherboard with NEC V20 processor (Intel's 8086 processor had an error in the code, NEC corrected the error and copyrighted the corrected code) , 1 Mb Ram (individual chips of 128 kilobits each, 8 chips plus one chip for the parity to get 128 Kilobytes) 30Mb half height RLL hard drive (an error-free 20 Mb drive and special controller = $339 then) and 4 color graphics card. You could have any color you wanted, but only 4 of 'em at one time.

Almost forgot; two 5 1/4“ 360K floppy drives too.

In the Windows Version of PT, you have only ONE window, which you can expand over 2 Monitors and Edit and Mix Windows are in THAT one Window...No i will never use the Windows Version with this limitation...
Agreed, ProTools looks awful on Windows with dual displays and feels way less usable that way. The stacking menus and window title bars are just absurdly bad looking. I'm fine with Windows for a lot of other stuff, by the way. I run Windows at home and OSX at the studio. I would be fine moving to all Windows if ProTools wasn't so ugly on that operating system.
