Maximum Performance Guidelines
To provide full 24-track, 24-bit performance on Pro Tools LE with high edit densities and the maximum number of Plug-Ins follow these guidelines:

• Intel Pentium 4 or Xeon with Intel 845, Intel 850 or Intel 860 chipset, Single Processor
• AMD Athlon Thunderbird with pure VIA KT133A chipset, Single Processor
• Intel Pentium III at 500 MHz or higher processor speed, Single Processor
• Performance and the number of Plug-Ins will vary from PC to PC; however, faster processor speeds produce better results.
• Total System RAM: 192 MB or higher
• File System (all drives): FAT32
• Also note that we have seen better performance on computers that have less components attached and non-custom versions of the BIOS or Windows 98 SE.

Known Incompatibilities
Caution - Digi 001 is NOT supported on the following systems or systems with the following components:

• Computers with motherboards containing SiS (Silicon Integrated Systems) chipsets
• Hewlett Packard Pavillion line of computers
• AMD K6, K6-2 or K6-III, K7 processor based computers (however newer AMD Athlon processors are supported - see Supported CPU Models & Speeds)
• Original Pentium processor based computers (Pentium I)
• Computers with motherboards containing mixed chipsets from AMD plus VIA combined
• "ESS Solo-1 PCI AudioDrive" Sound, video and game controller. This device can be disabled from the "Device Manager" in the "System" Control Panel.
