Default Pro Tools Hd on MacBook Pro Using Windows

I know its crazy but I'm willing to try it.
Has someone tried it yet?

The pci cards on a magma chasis, in my case HD1, using the new pci express expansion card from magma into the macbook, booting on windows.
I'd rather use Mac OS X but their is no software yet for the intel processor and I think its also a good option for some people out there.

I don't think that would work because the MacBook Pro has an ExpressCard/34 slot and the Magma card is an ExpressCard/54. I would really like for their to be a solution to have a portable HD rig with a MacBook Pro but it doesn't look like anything is coming soon.

Magma has said that they will have an ExpressCard/34 perhaps around August. That too will work with their existing PCI 1, 2, and 4-slot chassis I'm hoping it'll work.

While its not HD I have had the luxury of using Mpower on a macboook not even a pro with 2 gig ram in the system. Let me tell u that little laptop makes a top of the line g5 look like garbage. Imports are almsot instant on that thing. System lag for response etc are almost impercievable. I cant wait for HD rigs to cross over, I also cant wait for an intel tower to come out, cmon WWDC August!!!
