Default Pro Tools 2020 and 6-core Intel Xeon 3,06 GHz

Hi everyone!

In Pro Tools System Requirements and Compatibility page, I simply couldn't understand if my MacPro with High Sierra and 6-core Intel Xeon 3,06 GHz can run Pro Tools Ultimate 2020.
Can anyone help pls?

The computer itself work just fine if on Mojave, it's the High Sierra I'd look into.

Windows 10 64-bit build 1909
macOS Catalina (10.15.3), macOS Mojave (10.14.6), and High Sierra (10.13.6)"

It should be just fine.

Check out my specs below.

I run large sessions (hundreds of tracks with hundreds of plugins and multiple videos) with no problems.

Side questions, kind of related. I have a similar set up, Mac 5,1 8 core 2.44Ghz with HDN card, BM Intensity card, upgraded to RX 580 8gb and now on HS with 2020.5 and running into much larger sessions (since they gave HDN users 128 more voices) and running into our beloved -9173 errors often. have been wanting to upgrade my CPU to 3.46ghz. Would the difference be a huge improvement?
And also noticeable on freezing/bouncing tracks for full length features?
