Digi & others, when my Quicksilver G4 arrives, should I uninstall OS X immediately?
As OS 9 & OS X are both gonna be present on my new baby, I assume that my first out-of-box experience should be to UNINSTALL the alledgely(??) problematic OS X...
I will only be using this double-drive G4/733 for 001-borne music production, so I am hoping to guarantee that my only problems in this venture will be "writer's block." Digi, what is the absolute latest on this?? My last understanding is that problems with OS X and PT LE are only when OS X is added to an older, existing rig/set-up... no?? Please share... I want a smooth PT experience from the jump, Many thanks for your troubles, Midi [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] |

No need to uninstall X. Just boot in 9.1 and all will be well. I added X after I had my 001 and haven't had any problems. I never try to run PT in X, but it works fine in 9.1.

Re: Digi & others, when my Quicksilver G4 arrives, should I uninstall OS X immediately?
Everyone,
I think that's asking for trouble. With all the 'warnings' et al. Have you ever had your files corrupted? It ain't pretty(I had a virus that destroyed all my Vision files...and even Dave O couldn't put them back together again) But why anyway? So you can run IE 5.5 and Appleworks 6 ??? >>IE 5.5 is definately flawed big time. Java doesn't work right. You can't even download from Digidesign's website. IMHO >>>MidiMidiBangBang, Check this link. Did you order the twin view Nvidia card? Basically, the major difference between these machines is said to be the video cards. http://duc.digidesign.com/cgi-bin/ub...c&f=1&t=003315 Good luck. BTW- it's good for other members to know your detailed setup. IDE drives? Apple is telling people these 5400 rpm drives have a data throughput of ....blah, blah,blah. >>>It is seek time that is important for DAW recording!!! Thus the 7200 rpm spindle speed. FYI Thanks in Advance |

"aka,"
I actually HAD ordered the TwinView graphics upgrade... but, to my surprise, there was no simple way to connect the 2 15" Apple Studio Displays!!!!!!!!!! D'oh! It's my fault, having assumed that since Apple was bragging of dual-display support with this nifty card that they meant dual Apple displays. No, no, no, no, no, my friend. That would make too much sense... instead, they probably have a cut of the DrBott's profits of the BAND-AID solution -- what they call the DVIator cable + a second (RADEON) card. Total addition bucks = almost $400!! I insisted that they refund me for the TwinView premium since their customer service folks were the ones who also thought TwinView meant 2 (ADC) Apple displays. Regarding the IDE drives... both of my internal drives on the Quicksilver G4 are 7200rpm. |

I listened to the live broadcast, and I swear Jobs was telling the world: Dual Digital Displays.
...there must be a lot of graphics people yelling in his ear? FYI- Apple education is still selling electron-tube monitors (Mitsubishi) |
