I only ran a Process and a Core card (windows XP), but I'm fairly confident an accel card would work. I still have the whole computer (minus HD cards) sitting in a corner in the machine room. It's our back-up rig I guess.

Thanks for the reply,
Additional info. In the device manager it reads hd accel and accel dsp as in working order but the accel card doesn't pass digitest and protools won't load giving me the error 4 then 9003

I'm probably the only other HD user that used that configuration. It was a pretty popular build for LE rigs at one point, and that's where mine started. Then I ran a HD2 non accel for about a year with little issues. But I didn't have an accel card at the time to try.

I'm thinking your card is probably bad. If you have the funds available, perhaps you could purchase another used card (pretty good deals on ebay these days), try it out in your rig, if it works, then send the other one back.

BTW, Did you have to "modify" the chipset fan to get the second card in? I did, otherwise the card would not seat all the way into the slot.

I used a dremel to cut a little sliver in the plastic on the outside of the fan, just enough for the card to fit in, but I kept the fan on. Not sure if I'd remove the fan, that could burn up your chipset.
