Subject:Acid 2.0/Performer/ADAT Sync

If anyone can answer my two questions I would appreciate
it. My setup: Mac running Performer synced to ADAT using
MTC (JL Cooper DataSync 2). I also have a PC that I'm not
using for music but Acid Pro looks like such a great
program that I ordered version 2.0. There's no way my PC
could handle 3.0.

Question #1: Can my 300MHz 64MB RAM PC with an AMD K-6tn
processor handle Acid Pro 2.0? I downloaded and activated
the Trial Demo and everything seems OK so far, but this is
not the complete 2.0. No Time Code options or Plug Ins.

Question #2: Will Acid 2.0 have any problem chasing to
MTC? Performer and my ADAT have never had any problems.
I've also synced both of these to another hard disk
recorder using SMPTE with no problems. There is a review
of Acid Pro 1.0 in an old issue of Keyboard and while they
loved the program, the one "con" they mentioned was
"...sync with external MIDI devices exhibits some
instability..." Does anyone know if this problem has been
fixed in 2.0 and whether it will chase to MTC without
problems? Or rather, has anyone out there ever synced Acid
to a Mac running Performer and an ADAT?

Thanks,
Philip
