Mac OSX requirements for MC 6.5
Posted by Daniel Schultz on February 6, 2013 at 9:14 pmI on MC5 and want to upgrade to the latest MC v6.5.
Can anyone confirm what the minimum Mac OS system requirements are?
Lion? Mountain Lion?Thanks, Dan

“hahah no shit right? Thats just the Computer in my office, which ive since upped to lion and upgraded the video card on. MC 6.5.2 is still trucking pretty good on that machine. I mainly use it as Net machine at this point
All the bays run HP PC’s with MC 5 at the moment, and weve been beggin for a upgrade there too.

Cool,
For most projects the 4,1 and later Mac Pro is still fine if you put 24GB RAM and a fast card from macvidcards. Most Mac folks have a SLOW video card compared to the Windows machines and need CUDA thus NVIDIA.
Thanks for the reply,
Robert
