Hi all, I'm pretty new of this forum and I used only occasionally a Macbook before.

My "actual" desktop build is:

  • CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0ghz
  • CPU Cooler Zalman CNPS7000C
  • Motherboard Asus P5KC
  • RAM 2x2 OCZ Platinum DDR2 800mhz
  • GPU Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB GDDR3 (OC with Arctic Accelero S1 Plus cooler + 2000 rpm Scythe fan
  • GPU Cooler Arctic Accelero S1 Plus + Scythe fan 2000 rpm
  • HDD Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB 7200rpm 32MB
  • PSU LC-Power Titan 560W
  • Case Thermaltake Swing w/ window
  • MONITOR Samsung T23C350EW 1920x1080 / Acer X193W 1440:900
  • coming soon....SSD Samsung 840 Pro 250MB

 

I know it's not a recent build, it's 5 years old but before buying a whole new desktop (and before raising funds for it) I would try OSX to learn more of it and to understand if it should be better for me for Home Recording (mainly Cubase, but i will try Logic as well)
I'm actually running Windows 7 on this build and with the new SSD i would make a dual boot with Windows 7 (gaming and internet related) and OSX (only for the home recording).

 

On the wiki i found a similar build working on OSX Lion 10.7.5 i'm wondering if i can run a more recent version of OSX.

 

Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot for the link, I must check deeper but I read that almost all my build seems compatible (and good) with OSX.

 

My matter is more "which latest OSX I can run with my actual desktop" because I don't know/understand how the "hardware compatibility" works for the different releases of Mac OS X, if i lost some drivers with the recent releases or if there's a good retro-compatibility
