HD4 on G4 MDD
I am currently running an HD3 on a G4 MDD and was thinking of upgrading into an HD4. With a G5 or MacPro I would have to get an expansion chassis, but since the G4 MDD has four open PCI slots, I was wondering if anyone has had success running an HD4 internally. Will the power supply blow up and take the cards with it? Or will this work? I can't seem to find anything on their compatibility pages regarding this.
Cheers!

Re: HD4 on G4 MDD
I have no trouble at all running HD Core > HD Accel > HD Process > HD Process in my G4 MDD Dual 1Gb. Been running that for a couple of years with no issues to speak of. Running 7.3.1 on OS 10.4.8, 1Gb RAM.
