Will Protools Le 6.7 Run On This Dinosaur?, confused about hardware requirements Options

[hemlock]

i have a 600 MHz G3 iBook (Dual USB) with OX 10.3 and 384 RAM.

i'm wondering if the MBox and LE 6.7 will work on my computer.

i also have an external firewire hard drive.

i know i have a slow computer, but i don't have a lot of money and would like to start recording music. i'm new at music software, and really appreciate the help. i tried reading digidesign's webpage to find the answer, and i could not. i e-mailed them, but have yet to hear back from them. thanks in advance.

it should work - Mbox and Pro TOols 6.1 worked on my iMac G3 400 MHz with 384 of ram and Jaguar before i got my present machine. I didn't have a lot of horsepower left for plugins and stuff, but it got the job done in a few very simple brass ensemble recording sessions and subsequent mixing/mastering. Internal drive of an old ibook may be a bit slooow for recording too many tracks, but should work with at least 8 tracks. I dunno.

But I will also add that whatever machine you run it with, Pro Tools and the Mbox drivers may be buggy and processor inefficient in OS X. Many people i believe will back me up on this, though a number of people get it to run well enough to get stuff done, or even very well. It is just really touchy. It was much better on OS 9 actually, though there were less features, particularly with MIDI. Personally it got sick of it all and now use logic almost exclusively and want to replace my Mbox with a more standards-compliant and stable audio interface.

Good luck!
