Re: [Avid-L2] MacPro minimum requirements for V 6?

I think the key thing is 'does it support 64 bit?'. We just swapped out one Mac Pro for a slightly more recent one (Quad Xeons? I can't recall) to get 6.5 to work. Media Composer ran on the older box but the AMA plugins would not work. I have MC6.5 on a Core2Duo iMac and Core2Duo MacBook Pro.

I'll go for the Westmere Mountain Cougar Lion system please, but will that work with my bluefish ho hah board or will I have to hack the EFI with the 64bit bigger boot room on the video dohicky so I can run the GPU sniffer? My brain hurts. ;-)
