Can the digi 001 run on new computers even if digi does not "support" it?

[XJR]

I still have a 001 system running in a Dell PC. It will work on any new PC that still has at least one 5V PCI slot, the type with a single cut out rather than the newer 3.3V PCI slots. In terms of Digi supporting a machine I think you will be fine as long as you steer clear of anything not totally standard. I have always used Dell PC's, Intel CPU, Intel chipset and PT seems very stable and happy on these platforms. Something like the Dell Precision 670 will give you a lot of RTAS power and it has one 5V PCI slot. Other no problem machines have been Dell Dimension 9100 and Dell Optiplex GX270

In terms of core 2 machines you might find one with a 5v PCI slot but I'm not sure PT 6.4 can make full use of the core 2 processor. Maybe someone else knows if this is the case ?
