I am having trouble with my operating system recognizing my UAD-1 and Powercore PCI cards. I have researched this problem and have come to the conclusion that the cards won't run in a 64 bit architecture. They need 32 bit. I have tried the arch=i386 command during bootup and have had no luck. Can someone please suggest another way to get these cards to work. While we are on the subject of 32 vs. 64 bit there is something I don't understand. Pro Tools is a 32 bit program, whether you are using a 32 bit or a 64 bit system I believe Pro Tools only uses 4 gb of RAM. This is the way it was on my Windows machine running XP Pro, a 32 bit operating system. My Hackintosh uses 64 bit architecture and I have 16 gb ram . Does this mean that when I am using Pro Tools it only utilizes 4gb? I built this machine to use as a DAW, exclusively. Can someone suggest the best way to configure this machine for that purpose considering the hardware and the Pro tools software I have. I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with;
Z68XP-UD3 mobo
2700K Intel i7 CPU
16GB Corsair 1600 DD3 RAM
EVGA GeForce 210 512mb silent graphics card (just plain works)
Digidesign 003 rack+ interface
Pro Tools 8 software
UAD-1 DSP card
TC Electronics Powercore DSP card
Everythng else is working fine and I am sure that this problem is solvable. I bought this mother board for the two DSP cards I have because it has two PCI slots.
