HD Core PCI-X in an i7 DAW
Since PCI-X Core cards are quite cheap on ebay nowadays, I've been wondering if those can be used on the latest Windows i7 machines? Or are they Mac only? My motherboard is Gigabyte EX58-UD4 with a few PCI slots. I suppose PCI-X cards are the same as PCI. Is one of these cards + 96 IO enough to have a working HD1 rig? Any advice / thoughts would be much appreciated.

Nice!
My motherboard has 2 x PCI slots so am I correct thinking that I can go up to HD2 without the need of any expansion chassis, or are you using the chassis for converting PCI-X to PCIe? That's the only bit I still don't quite understand. What's the expansion chassis for? Thanks! |

http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/M...ProductID=3347 (Gigabyte GA-P55-US3L) Not sure about the card clearance though.. i'm opting for this for a 3 slot mobo fwiw http://www.scan.co.uk/product.aspx?P...780&ms=msso094 a few on this board have success with this asus too.. http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Asus-...rboard-LGA1156 although make sure it is the LE model as it has proper clearance for the 3 cards

Re: HD Core PCI-X in an i7 DAW
Great news guys - thanks With the price of accel cards now it is a no brainer. Plus I am running out of IO and need a card to slap my apogee onto and get my lynx on a card per box to avoid the latency issues it dishes out when not in standard mode.
appreciate it!
