As a reult of a facility change, I went from using Avid to FCP about 9 months ago.  Now I am freelancing again and I wanted to upgrade my old Xpress Pro (version 4) to something that will work on my Mac at home (10.4.11, Dual 2.5 GHz Power PC G5, 4.5 GB of RAM, Quicktime 7.5.  I would rather not upgrade to Leopard if possible as everything else is working great).  I have been nosing around all day and having a tough time finding what exactly I should upgrade to (it appears that 5.84 Xpress Pro would work but apparently you can't purchase that anymore).  I don't need the system to be "session-fast", I just want to get back on the interface for a few days so that I am comfortable when I get into an Avid room (i used Avid for 8 years before the switch to FCP so it isn't about learning the software so much as getting my Avid sense back so I am not slow the first few days).

Any help would be seriously apprecaited as I am starting to tear my hair out a bit...

You can use MC 2.8.4 and QT 7.3 or MC 3.0.5 and QT 7.4.5. I think MC 3.0.5 is better.

Thanks.  I will look into that.  I appreciate the feedback...

I just looked at Avid's site and supposedly MC 3.0.5 is not supported on older Dual Mac's.  Will it work anyway?

It does. I'm runing it on a G5 dual 2.5

Thanks so much.  I will go ahead and get it!
