Default radeon 8500 and PT LE

hello,
havent posted in a while...
just upgrading my computer to a dual 533 g4 (digital audio) to use with my existing AudioMediaIII card.
the computer i bought used, and to my delight, had an authentic ATI Radeon 8500 AGP card in there.
now i know this card is supported for video output in ProTools HD and maybe Mix (?), but has anyone tried it using an LE system?
i do not do any video capturing, but i do audio post. the video editors i work with send me quicktimes. being able to use this card as a video output would be amazing! would sure beat a firewire device. (i do not like desk clutter... i feel internal cards/drives are the way to go. at least for me).

i would like to hear feedback from anyone using this card with ProTools LE. are there any other PCI solutions that i dont know about?

my rig:
dual G4 533mhz
1gb Crucial Ram
Radeon 8500 64mb
OS X.3.2
AMIII (used as 24-bit I/O)
Seritek S-ATA controller
2 x 74gb WesternDigital S-ATA drives, 8mb cache, 10k rpm
(one for startup/applications drive, other is media only)
Edirol MA-20D speakers
ProTools 6.2.2 LE

Default Re: radeon 8500 and PT LE

If you want I will write more when I have time, but for now I'll just say that I'm very happy with this setup and LE. Also doing post. Much better (for me) than any firewire solutions. Stable, no hassle, no offsets required. Downloadable driver updates are needed for OSX, but it all works fine.

Or you can email me... I may lose track of this thread.
