| PT HD Accel PCIe / Mac Pro's double-wide slots I'm upgrading and was wondering if there are any PT HDAccel PCIe users out there that can tell me the following: Can the 'tdm ribbon' attach to the neighboring PCIe card without problems? On the Apple site it says the Mac Pro uses a new double-wide, 16-lane PCI Express slots. I remember that on the old PCI/PCIx slots, the distance is exactly right. Any 'double-wide' I'm sure would make it impossible to attach.... Or is this just on certains slots such as the display card slot? Thanks.

| PT HD Accel PCIe / Mac Pro's double-wide slots I just upgraded my pro tools rig G5 (HD3 pci-x) to an HD accel PCIe system for an intel mac, and used the same flex cables from the old system. You shouldn't have any problems... |

| the ribbons come with the cards... Yeah they fit... Stupid thing is the paper or documentation doesnt tell you how to connect em in a mac pro. Only Quicksilver and G5 schematics. Anyway use the G5 method on a mac pro... |
