Expansion Chasis/ 32 bit or 64 bit?
In the compatibility documentation for Pro
Tools HD it says the following: <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:<HR>Note: Pro Tools|HD is qualified with both 32-bit and 64-bit chassis.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Is there an advantage to having a 64 bit chasis? I already own a Magma 7 slot 32 bit chasis. Am I going to take a performance hit if I keep it with Pro Tools HD? Also, is the Digidesign 7 slot chasis a 32 bit or 64 bit chasis?

Re: Expansion Chasis/ 32 bit or 64 bit?
The 64-Bit chassis has TWO cables running from the host card. You can't possibly mistake it. Also, a 64-Bit chassis has full length PCI slots, whereas the 32-Bit chassis has half-length PCI slots.
The Digi chassis is definitely 32-Bit.
