Mac G4 Workstation Compatability, Help and Questions!!!
I have got a G4 Mac Workstation from 2003 with OS X 10.2 , twin 160GB HD's and an unkown amount of RAM. I *must* purchase a new DAW and firewire interface before too long for it. I want Protools beause it is the best but have had some problems in the past with my mac-mini and three PC's. It seems to be touchy software and very tricky to stabilize.
Is this so with the Mac Workstations which are G4? It has twin Xeon processors. I couldn't find anything on compatibility on the Digidesign website specifically related to the mac workstation but will look again as soon as I am done posting. Also, since I'll need to upgrade to 10.4 can anybody please recommend exactly how to go about doing that? I have experience with computers but not so much that with Macs. It has tons of multimedia software on it already and somebody recommended I make a 'Carboncopy' file by some service and a back-up if I upgrade OS or just upgrade the second HD, which I didn't think would be possible. Thanks so much for any kind help and assistance! DG |

A-HA...
Ok, so this is a 'Mac Pro' with Intel-based processor? That seems to make sense, so the compatability issues are answered and the OS X Upgrade procedure is specificially laid out in the Digidesign pages. Please, can somone verify for me that this is all accurate so I can go ahead and purchase PT 7.3 for my Mac Pro G4 Workstation with OX 10.4.9, Intel/Xeon processors using an Mbox 2 mini? A Mac pro is a MAC G4 Workstation, que yes? Thanks:) DG |
