PT 9.0.6 / High Sierra 10.13.6 ?
Good evening folks, I'm far behind the times, still on PT9.0.6. Anyhow I just acquired Mac Pro 2010, 2.8 quadcore. I simply swapped drives from my 2008 Mac pro and put in the 2010 pro, and fired up with no issues. So seems everything working fine with PT9. Although through the software update, apple is offering free upgrade to High sierra 10.13.6.
I aware it's not approved, but has anyone in the past had luck running this combo ?. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Even more modern versions of PT like PT10 won't work on High Sierra. For example with PT10 the last known workable OSX is 10.9.5; go past that and there are problems like blank insert menus until you mouse over an insert. Also it sounds like you'd be doing an in-situ OSX 'upgrade' which while being the Apple Way is not recommended. You always want to do a clean install of a new OSX to a clean drive. That means installing everything from new - PT, plugins, etc. If you do that you won't be able to install PT9 on High Sierra. The question becomes - why would you want to go to HS anyways? edit for additional: Also consider yourself you have PT9.06 running on Mountain Lion as the last compatible combo is PT9.06 and OSX 10.7.4 (Lion) |

Yeah I got a deal on a 2010 quadcore, and wanted to see what is my best options. From what I been able to research PT10 is the best option for my 2010 singlecore. Also notibles of hyperthreading cores.

PT10 is pretty good but limited compared to PT11 and above. One of the main limitations is the memory address space. With PT10 non-HD you're limited to something less than 4 gig. PT11 and above you can use as much ram as your computer can hold. The ultimate answer kind of depends on a couple of things - do you use many sample-based vi's? Do you run large sessions (like 60+ tracks)? For what I run with sample based vi's and large sessions I could never go back to PT10. Take a look at my profile page to see what I'm using with my 2012 hex core cheesegrater.

So to get the most out of my ram 32gigs, I will need PT11 ?. I also plan on ordering a X5690 cpu, to get 3.46mhz too. Currently 2.80
