Intel Compatible Hardware / Software / Drivers, Let's make a list ! Options

[motieu]

Hello


As many i'm interested in buying an Intel Mac, but i couldn't find any list of compatible hardware / software & drivers available or announced

Why not trying to make such a list ? if it gets long enough maybe the moderators could stick it to the top of the forum...

It'll settle down in the next month, including the issues occurring in the actual macintel. Always think that the transition in the Audio/MIDI world of macs will take longer than for the iPhoto users

M-audio as the others is facing the same old problem: usually they can't be sure their drivers work for a new PPC computer, so the drivers are tested and if there's problem they correct the drivers and it takes at least a few weeks. This time, it's not minor/major changes in the OS or the hardware platform, it's radical changes and they have to work from the ground on it. Also, to be sure it works, even if they used the development platform issued by Apple in june, they need to test thoroughly with the real thing (iMac intel and macbook) so they do work and it'll come. They simply won't talk a lot until they have an idea of when it's going to be released if they encounter problems

Anyway it's better to stay away from macintels first if you have some real commercial job to do for the time being, or if you're not sure your favorite products are available on the new platform.
