Question PT9 works with 15" 2.0 Ghz Intel Core Duo Macbook Pro?

Well does it? Thought I'd ask to be safe. Avid doesn't list my old 2006 Macbook Pro as compatible.

Thanks guys.

I have a 2006 MBP 2.33Ghz and it works fine. Large mixes. Loads of plugins..

How about a 2006 Macbook 2.0 Ghz Intel Core Duo. That's without the "Pro".

I have the same laptop and I am having issues. I keep getting CPU shortage errors. If I have 2 or 3 virtual instruments, Pro Tools 9 chokes. A little bummed because I had Pro Tools LE 7 under 10.4 and I could easily have 20+ tracks of complete madness. I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard for Pro Tools 9 and it hasn't been that solid. I have done all of the optimizations, I am using an OWC firewire drive, etc. A little bummed.

blkdog 7, I've got the same machine. A macbook pro, 1st generation intel core duo, 2.0ghz with 2gig ram. i'm thinking about upgrading to snow leopard but i wanna be able to also upgrade to PT9 along with it. are you still having CPU problems? anybody else with the same machine/set up have similar issues??

i just really wanna finally upgrade my OS but make sure i can do it and be able to use PT9 properly...

I ahve a Macbook Pro 5,1 unibody and protools is not really running reliable
It randomly crash after 10 minutes, I have just OSX 10.6.6 and Protools installed on that machine and I try to use the internal Audio.

see: http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=293508

I already posted this Issue to AVID but they told me that it is a OSX related problem and that I should contact Apple for help.

Any suggestions where to post that issue at apple ? I have only found paid support (as AVID which i already spent for actually nothing)?!

Old post, I know, but I thought I'd chime in here...

I've got an old MacBook (white, plastic), 2.1 GHz, OS 10.6.8, Core 2 Duo, running PT 10.whatever. Has been running flawlessly for about a year now. I've had 20+ tracks, plug-ins galore. Oh, 4GB RAM might be making it work.

Just FYI.
