[Fmpro] OS X upgrading

[Howard Lipp]

I upgraded my dual processor g4 1GHz to tiger running logic pro and have
incredibly stable and reliable performance using an xserve raid for mass
storage.
I am not that familiar with DP5 my last experience with DP is DP3, but I
expect that you would have good results as well. The only issue that gave
us any trouble at all was upgrading the 324 card to a 424 card to run our
Motu 2408 interface. The issue was time required and availability of the
upgrade card.
