UAD-1 OK in G5 Dual 1.8?

[swag]

Hi

I'm about to splash out on a Dual 1.8 G5 and just wanted to check that it's cool with the UAD1 as it has the 'old' style 33mhz PCI bus (which is what I have in my current G4 which is fine).
Just don't want to make an expensive mistake.

Thanks if you know....

See this thread.

Also, in terms of pure number of UAD-1 plugs you can run, the G4 still currently beats all the G5's. This is due to differences in the PCI architecture among other things. However, this sort of thing usually is not a problem (unless you are trying to do something like put an EX-1 on each track in a 32-track mix... i.e. you are normally limited by UAD-1 DSP power way before you get close to the number of plugins limit [PCI bus traffic]).
