Sometimes "going to lunch" makes it crash or distort, but in the second case if you instantiate an EXS24 on the ESB strip and then remove it it's all back to normal. In general the move you're considering is a good one, especially because so many VI's and samples are written for OSX. You can get many more years out of your MIX plus this way and even add another card or 888/24 for next to nothing, while using the same sounds everyone else does. If you don't mind staying at 24bit, it seems fine. I'm on a G4 dual 1.25. OSX 10.3.9. Logic 7.1.1, PT 6.4, MIX cubed. I use it exhaustively all the time.
