Power Mac G4 — Mbox 2 Requirements

With Pro Tools LE 6.8.1 for Mac OS X

Note: The best performance with Mac OS X and Mbox 2 is achieved by using fast dual processor Macs. Slower single processor Macs will work with Mbox 2, but at a reduced track and/or plug-in count.

Supported Power Mac G4 Computers:

Some Mac computers that have Core2Duo processors will experience problems with the Mbox 2 from Digidesign with the latest driver. To restore functionality, you will need to manually uninstall the Mbox 2 drivers and install version 10.3.3. Follow the instructions below to manually remove the drivers.
