Yes, you can use the HDPro with PCI-X based G4s, G5s and PCI-X Windows machines. Due to the limited bandwidth of the PCI-X slots, there will be slightly slower performance. Results will vary on different machines, however we guarantee up to 10 bit uncompressed HD 4:2:2 workflow and multiple streams of ProRes, DVCProHD 1080i. If not sure whether your Mac machine is PCI-X or PCI-E you can enter your serial number to find specifications in the Apple database: http://support.apple.
