I just purchased one today for $599 plus tax. I have a G4 400 MHz AGP Graphics machine. The davec test gave me 19 tracks after installing the 1.2 GHz Sonnet (compared to 9 I had previously). Overall I am very pleased with the performance increase.

So there is no problem running PT 6 on OS X with the upgrade card? I have a 350 AGP and was looking at that as an option. I can't afford a new box right now. But this could be a good interum solution. Is it worth it?

jeronimo....

Why would you want to ditch the 533 DP, for a single proc?

Tell ya what, I will trade you my 1.2ghz G4 for your dual 533.... [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Check out sonnettech.com for more info. They offer a dual 1.25 GHz processor upgrade as well. Also to clarify my davec results, that was running ProTools LE 5.2beta32 under OS 9.2.2, 512MB total RAM.
