Ok...I've had the magma and 2 UAD running a couple days now, here's what I've discovered.
When I had the 2 cards inside the G5 I got about to 70% or so on the UAD meter. About 85 or a little more if I did the shut on and off a UAD meter trick.
With Magma I get to about 83%. My earlier claims of circa 90% were true but not in very realy world test, I just loaded an empty project with plugins. I got my 83% with a real world sort of project with a bunch of other plugins and about 22 tracks of audio and 3 or 4 powercore plugs running as well, powercore resides in the Magma chassis as well
Just wondering, I've got 1.5 gig of RAM. Do you think adding more will do anything to boost performance?

One sure fire way to tell if you need more RAM is to open Activity Monitor (/Applications/Utilities) while you are doing your real world tests and look at the available RAM, it will be shown in green. Also look at the page file info, if you see numbers there in the 200,000 range, adding more RAM will help your system.
