I do have the 10,11,12 package at work but would be nice to have something faster at home for basic editing and mixing. I typically have 18 tracks with 6 subs for rtas plugins i use for producing commercials and voiceovers. Any thoughts?
Thanks

I would go for the most speed, over the most cores. I would also recommend moving up to a current version of PT as 8(and 9, 10) is a 32 bit program, which is a performance killer. Of course, moving forward will require you to jump thru many more hoops with OS updates and plugin changes from the old RTAS versions. The upgrade can be stressful, but IMHO, its worth it in the long run(I would finish any current projects before making any big changes)
