Question Mbox "3" on a dated Macbook?

Hi guys and gals

Thinking of buying a new Mbox (3rd gen) or Mbox Pro for an upcoming project. Just recording 2 to 4 channels max using the built-in Mic preamps. Macbook is around 4 years old, has version number 2.1, 2.16 GHz Core2Duo, 1 GB RAM, 667 MHz bus, OS X 10.5.8. This setup must run reeeeally stable cause the machine will be on its own once the recording got started, DAE errors or else are not an option...

Will this work? Any differences in performance regarding the FW / USB? Opinions, experiences? I don't seem to be able to find a Mac hardware compatibility grid at the AVID support site – is there any around?

Thanks in advance!

.bfx


EDIT: Oh yeah, will run 8.0.4, not going 9 so far...
