Any problem with Pro Tools 10 running Apple's Bootcamp?

[rreeves]

Hello,

I work for a school and I have a technical question that I need to get some information on.


We about to upgrade some of the classroom workstations to Mac Pro 8 core systems with the following specs:

Two 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
8GB RAM
1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/
ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB Graphics Card

I want to run Dual boot systems with Windows 7 & Mac OS X 10.7 using Boot Camp. Running each OS on a separate drive. I have been told that installing dual OS on Mac Pro systems will cause problems with Pro Tools 10.

Is it possible to run Pro-Tools 10 w/ MBox on a dual boot system with this configuration and does anyone know if this is a stable environment? Is there anyone having any issues?

Thank you!

Who said this and what kind of problems?

I cant speak for the Mbox, but I run PT HD Native and PT vanilla in W7 64 and a Mac Pro 1,1. It's been flawless. On this old Mac Pro, Apple made sure a 64-bit OS wouldn't run on this system, but I got it going. What Mac Pro version are you using? That said, why not use OSX? Also, as a side note, Avid offers no support for PT in Windows on a Mac Pro. You'll be on your own if issues come up. I'd only recommend it for the knowledgeable PC users. Welcome to the forum.
