Personally yes....

But if you don’t think it’s enough you can always buy the Dual 6 core upgrade tray

And have a 12 -Core machine - 24 virtual cores in PT.

It’s so easy even a Mac person can do it !!!

Oh yes. Got a soft spot for 5,1 MacPros. Not as quiet as the iMac that I'm getting repaired but fast and cool. I'll never touch another Mac with passive cooling again.

You'll probably need to reformat them but remember that doing that you'll lose and data on those drives.

Wow !!!! Should have gone Mac a long time ago. Everything is running like a dream. It’s smooth and responsive, just gotta get used to Mac OS and how some of the keyboard short cuts are different lol

Glad you're getting along with the new system. I was always comfortable with both Windows & OSX but it does take some time to retrain the muscle memory. Probably the most important one you can learn is the cmd-S keypress duo - that's the shortcut for saving. I often joke the fingers of my left hand are permanently bent in the shape to do that.
