adapting older PCI cards to newer comps
 
So I'm trying to put my old ProTools HD system in a new computer and the PCI card slots are different. I was wondering if there was any sort of adaptor or work around to get the cards to work in the newer mac. The computers are-
Power Mac G4 trying to put the protools system into a PowerMac G5 quad.

Obviously this is so I can have protools on the newer machine without having to buy new $10,000 PCI cards, thanks so much!

Hi,

You have PCIx cards your new computer has PCIe slots.

You can upgrade your cards to PCIe with Digidesign for $$$$
You could buy a Magma PE6R4 chassis to house your PCIx cards.
You could buy a second hand G5 dual 2/ 2.5 /2.7 PPC
