This new release adds compatibility with Apple power Mac G5 Quad computers, fixes possible crash when lauching or uninstantiating a plug-in, and fixes instability problem when using three or four processors set for RTAS.

As announced, Digidesign is now offering two versions of its Pro Tools|HD systems, in PCI version and PCI Express version. By continuing to provide the existing PCI version and releasing a PCI Express (PCIe) version, Digidesign is ensuring continued compatibility of its Pro Tools|HD systems with a wide range of PCI, PCI-X, and PCIe-equipped computers. Existing Pro Tools|HD systems are designed to work in PCI and PCI-X slots only and are not compatible with PCIe technology. Regarding the PCIe :

- Digidesign has qualified Pro Tools|HD systems for PCIe with the new range of Apple Power Mac G5 computers;
- initial Digidesign support for PCIe-based Pro Tools|HD systems is limited to a maximum configuration of three cards ( beyond three cards you will need to use the PCI cards with the new HD expansion chassis);

PCIe-compatible Pro Tools|HD systems are the same price as their PCI counterparts and Digidesign is offering a crossgrade program for PCI users who want to transition their Pro Tools|HD system to a host computer with PCIe slots.
