Guys,
Thanks for all the info. For some reason I cant pull myself off the mac and therefore purchased a new G% last night. Thanks again guys and hope I did not waste your time. :wink:

Great decision!

:)

meant to say G5! Sorry. :?

Have you checked the known issues with G5s and UAD-1s?

I think you will find there are a few problems with the G5s.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help I don't know the current situation - might be worth checking it out on the chrismilne UAD forum.

I have heard about the issues with the UAD-1. Supposedly from all the reports coming in, the latest update for the UAD (OS 10.4), everything is working great. THose are still a little ways off though. Need to save up some more dough.

Thanks

Good choice merlot. The UAD1 driver is working very well in Tiger now. UAD1 only have some performance problems with PCI-X G5's. I have a PCI G5 and the UAD1 plugs don't need the native cpu almost at all (maybe 0.5% per plugin). My Powercores need native cpu a little more than the UAD1 (maybe 1% per poco plugin). These are per 1 cpu (of 2).

I've built a Dual Xeon for the average price of a single pc. Will post setup if you wish.
Put powercore in your list :>

Aztec, I would be interested in the details of your set-up. Would you mind posting them - I am umming and aaahing between creating a new 64bit dual core AMD machine or a dual Xeon???

ok, will post in a bit, really busy at the moment to look for the exact models. Mind that i created this setup about 8 months ago and maybe there are new motherboards or cheaper cpus etc. Also AMD chips where out of reach then, x3 the price i paid.
