"Pro Tools|HD 3 Accel System with PT Software, Core Card and 2 HD Accel Cards"

The Pro Tools|HD 3 Accel system supports extremely large and complex sessions by leveraging the power-on-demand capabilities of three dedicated DSP cards (PCI or PCIe) connected via Digidesign's proprietary TDM II bus architecture. The most powerful of the base Core systems, Pro Tools|HD 3 Accel combines those specialized DSP cards with the processing resources of your computer to deliver awesome audio performance, large track counts, and impressive plug-in processing power. To help you take advantage of that power, the Pro Tools|HD 3 Accel system also includes the largest number of Digidesign and Digidesign Development Partner effects and instrument plug-ins as part of the free HDpack collection.

Pro Tools|HD 3 Accel offers the best starting point for building an expanded system. Create the ultimate, most flexible mixing workstation at any time by adding more DSP cards and a Digidesign Expansion|HD expansion chassis.
