    the expansion slot utility does not appear on the G5's I have on the show, just the Intels. Is this normal?

    its only for pci express machines.

    i think you just have a dual 2.0Ghz G5.

    Using LFG4 on non-pci express machines is not recommended.

    I did some tests on the 2.0Ghz G5 with the LFG 4 - there is simply not enough horse power to do this. The performance is pathetic. Not recommended at all.

    the LFG drivers do not work well on older machines - i tested them all on all machines last year.
    and it is a hardware limit - on bus bandwidth - doing 4 inputs saturates the pci bus bandwidth - and doesnt leave anything left to do anything else-

    i do not recommend anyone uses LFG4 on anything less PCI-e machines.

    It is too much for older g5's with their limited buses -

    there were some later generation dual 2.0 G5's which were also crippled by apple on the pci bus.

    but you can put 3 LFG4 cards - for 12 inputs into an intel mac pro - and it does work.
