Will ProTools HDX take full advantage of all those 12 cores?

Would 12 GB ram be plenty for big mixes with 150+ audio tracks?
(with the audio for the PT session being around 4 GB max)
As always it's better to leave on full core (2 threads) for the os.
The 12 gig should be plenty for disk caching and vi use + plugs since the plugs will be limited to the 4 gigs that pro tools will see. Same for the vi's unless you run them rewired.
