Thanks AA, I'm reading it now..
EDS cards are 32bit 5v pci (please correct me if that's wrong, I don't
have any eds cards yet), so I'm assuming it's then a matter of getting
the proper beefy power supply and case..
I used to run paris with 4 eds cards in a magma on a dell laptop, but I
have no idea what magma's will work with intel mac pros these days, and
especially running xp. There's so many different magma versions and I
keep reading about people having issues or getting the wrong
chassis/host card.. I've also been out of PC land for a few years, as
well as paris land.
I thought this one looks a little more solid from what I've read, and
would probably be the cheaper route, but I'm still trying to do my
research..
Cheers,
TC
