  Which Avid on an older MacBook Pro?

  MPB 2.33 Ghz,
  Dual core Intel
  2mb RAM
  ATI Radeon x1600 card
  OSx 10.5.3

  Sorry if this has been previously discussed (could not find a definitive answer)

  It’s been a few years since I’ve worked on an Avid – for the last few years it’s been purely FCP. While this may or may not change, I still want to have some form of Avid on my MBP. I won’t be doing much, if any ingesting, and I doubt that HD will enter the equation. I just need something to keep my Avid chops up. I prefer it to be a Media Composer, but XPress Pro would be fine – I simply need something that will work reliably on my laptop.

  I understand the NVidia requirement would be ideal, but does anyone have a clue if MC 3.0 will work on my laptop with the ATI card? Anyone using any older version of MC or Xpress Pro on a MBP with an ATI card? I don’t mind if Windows & Boot Camp is my only solution, or if nothing else, I imagine I could blow away my Bootcamp partition and reformat it as Tiger if that would work with an older MC version.

  Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks…
