I'm no Mac expert, but I think this computer is too slow and needs more RAM. Besides, I was not aware that there ever was a Mac Pro with a core 2 duo cpu. Each new "level" of Pro Tools(6 to 7, 7 to 8, 8 to 9, etc), requires more "horsepower" to handle the increased features and capabilities. The system you describe seems like it is much better suited to LE7 or 8, but please take my opinions with a grain of salt. Hopefully, some Mac users will jump in on this. Meanwhile, review all the required system tweaks(the lower the computer spec, the more important these are). An external hard drive with "plenty of room" is worthless if its not fast enough, or uses the wrong connection(IIRC, Macs are not approved for USB drives at all for recording).
