What's confused people is that most independent developers will probably do a two-stage update: a quick one that supports the older chips, and then a complete optimised reworking to support all chips. So the thing to be aware of is that a plug-in that has been updated for Accel may actually just be compatible with the two older chips.
Those thinking about replacing Process cards rather than simply installing additional Accel cards might actually see a drop in DSP resources until their plug-ins are fully updated. This should be taken into account if you have a non-updated plug-in that you tend to use many times in each mix. Digidesign's on-line third-party software catalogue holds up-to-date info on individual plug-in support, and you should refer to this to help make the decision whether to defer a hardware upgrade.
Pro Tools veterans may start to hear another alarm bell following some of what they've just read, and several concerns have indeed been voiced, most publicly on Digi's User Conference message board.
People who've experienced Mix TDM systems will remember possible problems associated with the combination of different DSP processors, and amounts of processing memory. In certain circumstances, when you had a packed mixer with some plug-ins that could run on any type of chip alongside other plug-ins that needed a specific chip, it was possible that Pro Tools would allocate its DSPs poorly when reopening the session. The result could be that your session was unable to reload all the plug-ins you were originally using.
HD Core and original Process cards have just one DSP chip type, configured the same way across the board, so this can't happen. With Accel, the worry is that this type of 'DSP shuffling' scenario might return. Digidesign have responded to concern about this issue by saying that Pro Tools's built-in DSP manager is now much smarter and can foresee problems and prevent them from occurring.
We already mentioned a couple of months ago that some older PCI cards are not compatible with the architecture of Apple's latest desktop machines.
The latest news is that all versions of Pro Tools will need a free software update for full compatibility with G5s.
