Waves and Penryn buyer beware!

anonymous 14 May 2008

HI,
does anyone have Waves working on the newer Penryn (45nm) processors?

according to Waves tech support:
Waves is not supported on 45 nm processors, no work around and not know when the fix in the future will be.

so lets think about that

thats ALL of Apples new lines
thats all of any big box company (dell etc)
that most of the pro audio builders aside from a the slow adobters.

so 99% of new computers cant run waves?

can't be

I've had issues with Waves long ago but some of there plugs are near must haves
(even though I am trying to live without)

there must be some incorrect info there
???

i have a system here that is a Q9450
