Re: Advice? '09 8-core Mac or '10 quad-core for PT 10 Native?
Hi!
Personally I would recommend in this order (priority):
1. Higher CPU speed
2. More cores
So I would rather take a 3.2GHz 4-core CPU that a 2.2GHz 8-core CPU.
I don't think there's that much of an improvement in 2009 vs. 2010 MacPRO that I would immediately discard the 2009 model.
But please consult with some other people on the forum as I am also currently running my system on a 2009 MacPRO (8-core @ 2.93GHz) and have not bought the 2010 model (nor do I intend to).
