My name is Tom Todia and I teach audio development at Full Sail, which is a college for audio, games, and digital media.

I am beggining a class on Audio for Video games, and wnat to have my students develop a a basic package on thier G5's.

This package sounds and looks perfect, but I have a question about audio I cant seem to figure out.

Is there a way to develop and implement audio into this package?

Is the audio built in and cant really be tweaked?

This looks like a very simple streamlined package. If the ability to adit and implement audio is thier, I will most likely order many of these packages.

Thansk for the help,
Tom Todia

You do know that DB is for DirectX on the PC - not the Mac right?

newer G5's are intel based, he might not have the last of the PPC variants like me.

dual 2.5 ghz followed by dual 2.7ghz then it switched to intel.

If you type Arch in terminal and it says PPC if your not sure you know its not intel.

Its a very new change. Intel must be rubbing their hands with glee.

Yeah, first let me apologize for my grammar in my initial post, lol.

I first typed MAC into my question in google and ended up at this site. I figured out it was PC only after some reading, but I am hoping that Boot Camp might handle the drivers.

I am going to try loading the Demo on the G5's and let you know what happened. It might only work on the Mac Pro desktops, but I will experiment and see.

Thanks for the responses.
