Not sure if I can update or upgrade my system from MC6.0.1 to MC7
I have Mac Pro (Mid 2012) with a 2 x 2.4 GHz 6-core Intel Xeon processor.
I am unsure how this is different from Quad Core Xeon processor listed as minimum system requirement for MC7. I have looked around online and not finding information that answers this question directly and do not want to make the change if my machine can’t handle it.I am still working with SD footage, digital and analog tape so I do not have the same requirements that most will have for various HD formats. The primary reason I am considering the upgrade is that I had another editor with MC7 work on a trailer for me, and we realized that my system could not open her files.
Another post on this forum indicated I could update to 6.0.4 and be able to open MC7 bins, but when I looked at the hefty ReadMe pdf for the update, my system did not seem to meet those system requirements (2.66 vs my 2.4GHz).
I guess the question is could I still get away with my less powerful processor if I am using SD material?
thanks to anyone for input.

While those are recommended test configurations, many times it is a “your mileage may vary” in certain areas. If you are already on 6.0.x, then moving to a point release in the same 6.o.x cycle should be fine. I am running v7 on a 2011 MacBook Pro and while background transcode and DMF might be iffy, everything else is fine.

thanks Michael. makes sense. since I would have to do full uninstall just to go to 6.0.4, I think I might just go to 7.
