I am considering the purchase of a PowerBook 1.5 GHz, 17 inch laptop for use with a Magma FireWire expansion chassis. The ProTools system would be either an HD1 or HD2 Accel, and my intent would be to use FireWire 800 drives for recording. Installed memory in the laptop would be 1.5GB, using OS X 10.3.4.

I am aware this PowerBook is presently not qualified, so I know that there is some risk. Still, my application makes such a system very appealing. So...

- Does anyone else use this configuration or one similar?
- Do you have any suggestions for how to make such a system work correctly?
- Are there any pitfalls I need to be aware of?
- Would you recommend ProTools 6.4?
- What track count are you able to achieve with your system?

Thank you for your help!
