Hey. I'm currently running Pro Tools LE on a Macbook Pro w/ the MBox2. I
sold the Macbook Pro the other day for $2200. I figured I could by an
Apple G5 mini and then have the extra money to buy a nice piece of
equipment. I've been a windows person forever, until I got the MacBook
Pro last summer. I still like the windows interface better. If you were
to take a PC and Mac with the same specs and run PT LE, would it run the
same, or is it more stable on OS X vs Windows Vista? I don't wanna spend
more than $600, $800 tops, on the computer. I was thinking of buying all
the parts and putting together a custom windows DAW. Any suggestions or
comments?

Thanks,
-Adam

I'm not sure if the current version of PTLE is compatable with Windows
Vista yet, however, I'm here to suggest you go to duc.digidesign.com
and look in their PTLE for Windows forum for hints, tips, tricks, etc
on building a machine. There are a few people there who know what
works from experience.

Hi Adam.

Currently, LE is not certified to run on Vista. Also, Digi has a
compatibility alert for LE and OS X (10.4.9 and above). See he

I had that problem with OS X and it was solved by downloading the pre
binding patch. works fine now.

well forget vista, windows xp. I'm running OS X 10.4.10 and PT LE runs
fine. Never had an error message yet. I'm probably gonna stick with the MAC.
