Check your plugins with each individual manufacturer for compatibility with PT HD 10. This information can easily be found on their web pages.

I'm not sure about the upgrade to PT HD 10 for $599 if you're buying a used system with PT HD 9. I am doubtful, but perhaps someone knows something to the contrary.

You could go HD Native, but your older Mac Pro will probably not give you the best experience for tracking at low buffers.
I had the Hd2 in a G5 and I was happy between the tdm and rtas that I had on that so I figured with my quad macro I would get almost the same?
I figured that the pcie core card was more powerful and that i'd get more rtas out of the quad as well?
I was wondering though if the accel only plugs like impact would run with just the accel core, I figured it would being that it's an accel card but wasn't sure.
I haven't done a lot of drum tracking with the macpro but I put up charles dyes mix it like a record tracks and it was able to run a whole lot of plugs and what 60 tracks, just the macpro.
It didn't want to open that session with a low buffer though!

i was hoping to find out wether anyone else had tried running those tdm plugs on Pt 10hd.
