Default Re: ToolBox/8500

Hi.
I'm running an AMIII toolbox PT4.3.2 on a PPC 8500, 128mb RAM, 400mHz XLR8 G3. No major hangups. A minor video glitch arises occasionally due to a minor incompatibility between the XLR8 card and Apple's built-in video subsystem. Again, not a showstopper and not an issue if you plan to use a PCI video card.

The Newertech G3 cards are said to be quite solid, although they are among the most expensive.

E.D.
