2021 TDM HD4 Win XP

[Sugarnutz]

This is a project I've attempted before but never got it to were I felt comfortable relying on it it for serious work as a remote rig, I've tried it with Win 7 64bit and it crashed PT about half way through a live set where we had vocals into my system and a line out feed from PT to the PA which totally ruined the groove. Also tried Snow Leopard as some have suggested and I never liked it either.

System specs:
Jetway NAF93-Q77 ATX Motherboard
Intel Core i5 -3470 Ivy Bridge Quad-Core 3.2 GHz
G.SKILL Ripjaws X 4GB DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
Kingston 120GB Mini-SATA (mSATA) MLC SMS200S3/120G (OS/Apps)
Two WD VelociRaptor WD3000HLHX 300GB 10000 RPM SATA 6.0Gb (Audio)
GIGABYTE GV-N660OC-2GD G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 660 2GB 192-Bit GDDR5
Digidesign HD PCI Core
Three Digidesign HD PCI Accel cards
All in a 19" Rack mount chassis
Win XP Pro SP3
Pro Tools HD 8.1.1
Right now I/O is handled by a single Digidesign 192 Analog

I finally realized I should just go with Digidesign/Avid's recommended system for PT HD 8.1.1 which is XP on the windoz side of things. I've got a lot of experience installing Win XP, mostly for people I used to work with who crapped their system downloading porn or cracked software, I live for the advanced tabs in XP. Took several days to get everything settled and stable, tried a lot of different things such as slot order for the HD cards (had to reverse slot order in Win 7 last time), this time slot order worked as it should, core closest to video card.

This is a bigger post but have issues posting it. I'll just reply with the rest of it.
