Looking for honest software upgrade advice

Post by gaijin1717 » Tue May 05, 2015 9:22 pm

Been using version 8 since it came out. I really want to upgrade, but my music computer is an early 2008 iMac, 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM running os x 10.10.3. I'm not replacing this machine anytime soon, even though I know that seven years in the computer world is forever. Will this machine even be able to handle running Live 9?

I also have a 2012 MBP, but I can't really have that as a dedicated music computer. Thoughts?

Why don't you install the demo and find out how it runs for you.

That's a really good, obvious answer that I hadn't thought of. Thanks!

That's why I make the big bucks :)
