Thinkin of callin it quits

Camilo and Albee nailed it right on the head: Use the the components that work for others and they will work for you too. Thanks to the obsessive (unpaid) work by the people on this forum over the last 5-6 years (see Best Desktop Thread), anybody can put together a system that will outperform a Mac for 1/2 -1/3 the cost. I've built 2 myself. We've all had challenes here and there, but there are a lot of us doing it succesfully. Apple operating systems are probably better than Windows, but five years ago we had track counts and processing power on our native systems that were inaccessible to Mac users.

Despite your whining, there are a lot of people on here that would still help you, but you have to accept some TRUTHS...PT need some specific hardware. It doesn't matter how much you spent or how well another program runs on your system. You'll NEVER get PT running if you have incompatible hardware, or if your system is configured incorrectly.
