PT10 with Snow Leopard vs. Mountain Lion

[Alexrkstr]

I am going to wipe my drive and roll back from Yosemite to either Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion, but want to know which one PT10 would run faster/smoother on.

MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.53Ghz
8GB RAM
Solid State Drive 240GB
FireWire HDD 7200rpm

My experience is that Mountain Lion works best for Protools 10. YMMV

Thanks for the response. Would you mind elaborating on what the difference was and your specs at the time?

I'm still on Mountain Lion now. I run Protools 10 on my Macbook Pro (Quad Core i7) and my MacPro (8 Core Xenon). The main difference from Snow Leopard and Lion and Mountain Lion has been the stability for Protools. I used to get occasional freezes and sometimes Protools would just quit in the middle of a session while in SL. ML was more stable in that it almost never freezes nor quits in the middle of a session. My computer specs are in my signature.

10.6.8 and 10.8.4/5 are both very stable with PT10.

The main difference IMO is that ML has far more features than SL so if your computer can handle it I'd install ML
