Can the older protools HD PCI cards run Ver8

Hi Guys,

Just wondering what the go is with the older protools HD cards that are PCI. They are poping up everywhere for sale. Can you run version 8 software with these? I know now is not the time to be buying a HD system because who knows whats going to be happening in the future but they are getting so cheap and it would work great as a location rig. In theory I should be able to get a magma case with a PCIe card to go in the Mac out to multipule PCI slots.

Am I crazy???

Cheers

I'm running PCIX cards on a powerpc G5. I cannot upgrade past 8.0.1. My thinking is that i'll use it for as long as I can, the longer I can stay out of the upgrade race the better. Search fleabay stores for Alto Music in New York.
