Default Hd Process and HD Accel Cards Pick and mix.

Hello,
I am about to buy and HD2 system which has the old HD Process card on it.
I am also looking into purchasing a relatively new HD ACCEL card.
I would like to know if anyone here has tried to stick them both on the same system under tiger (I am planning to use PT 8).

Do they actually work together, is there any plugs incompatibility?

thanks in advance.

Best,
Mattia Sartori.

Hi,

you can't mix PCI and PCIe cards!! so make sure all cards are the same PCI or PCI e.

you can mix and match process and accel cards ok.

Hi,

No, accel cards only came in PCI or PCIe.

The PCI will fit in a PCIx slots but they are not PCIx specs

Hello,
what I meant was that I have procces and accell cards,both in PCI-X format.
I was wondering if they could be mixed in the same system.

Best,
Mattia Sartori.

Hi, Yes.

in the computer you fit them core-accel-process.

To be precise you have PCI cards! but yes they will work in PCIx slots
