I can see Digidesign paying more attention to PCs now which is understandable. TA the moment they really have to rely on Apple and have to constantly code and re-code all the time especially in the last couple of years and its going to happen again soon.
I dont use Pro Tools now. When I used an HD2 system I used an Apple mac Dual G4. 6 months before selling my HD rig I used an old pentium 4, 1.4ghz because my Mac was constantly breaking down and one day I decided to try and install Pro Tools in to this old PC I had lying around fully expecting a major hassle.
My hand on heart, from installation to operation I didnt have one single problem. I cant recall a crash ever. The software also felt more responsive. I installed on a machine that I used for games, internet and undoubtedly had loads of crap in there. I didnt even bother re-installing XP and it all worked perfectly. If I sold that PC I would have been lucky to get 300uk pounds for it, probably less.
When it came to selling it, I was a bit reluctant as I was beginning to like using Pro Tools again.
Im not syaing PCs are better than Macs, just mentioning this to anyone who may consider a PC. Just try it, you may like what you see/feel
