It wasn't a religious knee jerk reaction, it was my personal experience.

You didn't specify what PT system you had. Of course if you are going to use
older technology on a new operating system there are going to be issues. If
I needed to run a large orchestral sample library, I would instinctively
know that I was going to need more processing power than a MIX system. You
sound like a good candidate for upgrading to an HD card and maybe adding an
Accel process card. Doing what you want to do is going to be rough going
regardless of the OS or the machine. OSX and Panther are much more stable
than OS9 and the issue of your sampling needs has nothing to do with that.
Let me know if you wish to upgrade, I can actually help you with the
hardware and software.
