Default Need help on a Legacy setup NEW ISSUE

G5 running Leopard(10.5.8) with HD3. Basic stuff is loaded up and working, but many things need downloads and/or updates and Safari, to put it bluntly, is the biggest POS ever in this incarnation. I have been all over the internet for 2 days now in hopes of another browser but cannot find anything that will actually download and install. Of course, since Safari refuses to load any page I need, I have been also searching via my Windows 10 PC(which has no issues downloading .dmg files and has done many so far). Every google search comes up with several options, such as :
tenfoxfour
firefox version 16
Vivaldi
Omniweb
Stainless
but I can't find an actual download for any(found firefox 16.2, but of course, that version will not install on Leopard)
Any ideas will be appreciated

I have no idea - really - but -

1) Looks like this article links to a download for Firefox 16.0.2
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7026343
Maybe that'll work?

2) OR...
Skip the Mac browser idea completely. Use Win10 to get whatever installers you need, carry them over to the Mac, and install?

Good luck!

Default Re: Need help on a Legacy setup

EGS hit the motherload(I think). 16.02 did not install. Time will tell on 16.0. As for using the Windows machine, that's what I am doing, but its a royal PITA. For example, I can't get any of my IK plugins to authorize without being directly connected as IK's manager has changed enough that it won't work the old way. Got a support ticket open with them now. Thanks for the efforts!

FOLLOW UP:
Got a better browser in TenFourFox. Now I need help(or education) regarding resources on an HD3 setup.
Got a simple session with around 36 audio tracks and 4 stereo AUX tracks.
All plugins are TDM(not a single RTAS plugin is in use)
Around 16 tracks are using sends to those AUX tracks for drum bus compression, room reverb, vocal reverb and delay(all plugins are stock plugins)
I keep getting playback stops with the error in screen shot and you can see the system resources window. It seems that things should be shared over the 3 cards, but it seems only the core card
is actually handling anything and everything. Do I need to do something to force the system to spread the load over the 3 cards?

Lose your ancient system. Get up to date with all hardware and software.

I have a current system that works fine. I am trying to get the old gear to be fully functional so I can pass it on.

TenFourFox chokes badly on today’s internet. Network the Mac and PC together, do all your browsing and downloading on the PC, and access the download location on the PC from the Mac.

Dave, do you have the little jumpers going from card to card and are they oriented in the right direction?
