Re: Windows Guy Peaking Over To The Mac Side. Questions . .
The RAM limitation is not based on the OS being 32-bit vs 64-bit. It is a limitation that is posed by Microsoft:
XP - 4GB RAM 2k Adv Server - 8GB RAM 2k3 Server Enterprise - 32GB RAM The list goes on but all of these are 32-bit OSs. Last time I check the Macs are currently 64-bit systems... Usually Microsoft ups the memory limitations as they introduce newer OSs and as deemed necessary for runing the latest and greates software applications.

Re: Windows Guy Peaking Over To The Mac Side. Questions . .
Hold on there cowboy...
Macs have RAM limitations as well. Mostly based on the type (H.W.) you buy. For example miniMac is limited to 2GB, iMac 4GB, and you can find the rest at http://apple.com Looks like Mac Pro is 64-bit. Runs both 32 and 64 bit apps. Who knows what the actual dVerb count is? If you put a bundle on the a MacPro with quad Xeons (Damn Xeons, same processor used in High End Wintel Servers). I don't think you will care what the dVerb count is, will not be an issue.

Re: Windows Guy Peaking Over To The Mac Side. Questions . .
The more that I think about it... 8 CPU cores, WOW! I wonder how much DSP is on a TDM or HD card? Would love to compare LE with an 2 quad core Xeons against a TDM system. Are the lines getting blurred?
Anyone?

Re: Windows Guy Peaking Over To The Mac Side. Questions . .
You would not be able to do a fair comparison because PTLE is so crippled. Don't you think it's odd that 32 tracks will max out your cpu, but if you upgrade to the DV production toolkit you magically have more headroom? It is a business imposed ceiling. You'd be better off testing a pt hd machine against Logic that will actually use all 8 cores. Like I said before dverb does not matter because you won't use all the power in a real world situation...Unless you are using Logic or Cubase, etc
I have too much money invested in protools to switch. If I need more than 32, I will pony up for the extra voice count. |

Re: Windows Guy Peaking Over To The Mac Side. Questions . .
I switched to a Mac last December and I love it I realize that every time I tell people about my Mac vs. PC experience, I start to sound like the Apple commercials. It really is better, faster, more reliable, much easier to use, better looking, cooler, and more girls talk to me when I'm sitting in a coffee shop with my aluminum Macbook Pro out.
Digi, please, please, please release PT LE for Leopard soon!!! The above will only keep my going for so long - the girls part a little longer. |
