Hi,
I understand that it seems wasteful and painful to discard older yet
perfectly fine technology. I, as well, am not an audio-engineer but
agree with Greg whole-heartedly, using Pro Tools with a MacPro and
even a MacBook Pro is quite common. The built-in sound management on
a Mac is quite amazing. Placing old technology inside new
architecture often causes its own list of problems. I suggest that
you keep the old card in your older machine and work with the more
compatible technology with the new Intel machines. Just my opinion
of course.
Have a good day.
Later...
