DH2G or TH2G

[Jovaaa]

I've looked at the server and it is a 3.3 pro system as sold by HES 4 years ago.

specs are if I'm correct:

Dual 2GHz Powermac G5
1Ghz frontside bus
512MB DDR400 SDRAM (max 8GB)
147 GB ATA (Pro OS and software)
10k RPM 147 SCSI drive
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb DDR videomemory

I understand I need v4 to use a TH2G? Can I run v4 on this system (maybe by installing more ram?) and does anyone know what the cost of an upgrade are?

with kind regards Joost

It's not the software only it's a combination of Software and Hardware .

Even if you install V4 con a g5 it will not work . Maybe the TH2G could work with 3x800x600 ( MAY BE ) but then the Computer it self will be too slow to manage that Big Space.

buy a Mac Pro, a standard one it's a big step forward compared to the G5 .

You may need to buy a new Video input card.

But you save money on the follows :

• Flight Case
• Monitors
• CIB
• You can even use that funcy box from HES to distribute the local Video.

You Will loose :

• video Card input
• SCSI drive
• G5
• Video Card output

Cost of a standard MAC PRO 2500 Euro www.apple.com/macpro ( chose your country b4 looking in the Apple Store )

a cost of a Nice fast disk it's less the 500 Euro ( contact www.pixelsplus.co.uk they have good prices )

This is is not the fasted Catalyst System in the Globe , but with 3.000 euro you can get a New Mac System

Where are you from ?

as people say - you have a very old computer - that will be unlikely to work with triple head - the 9800 graphics card is not good enough - you need an intel mac with x1900 or 8800

Hi,
thanks for the answers. I hoped with this occasion it was goint to work (they asked 2500-3000euro). It is to expensive to upgrade the mac, and then this is ex an upgrade to v4.
I need three 42" plasma's to run video's sync and they need to be triggered by midi. I'm going to look for an other sollution, catalyst looks great to work with. Maybe some on some other project I run in to it.

I'm from amsterdam, the netherlands by the way.
