Hi Greg - it's total rubbish unless i've been very lucky!! I have been using a G5 dual 2.7 for 3 years now without any problems - certainly far fewer than those new intel machines which don't work with anything yet!! MY set up - dual 27 ppc - protools HD2 accel Logic 8 using DTDM and DAE (no core audio) The new autoload in logic 8 is fantastic and once it's configured it seems very stable. ( protools 7.41 installed) I recently bought another dual 2.7 and it's equally good, regards Russ Pay, CD clinic / starmakers ------------------------------------
