Hi, I am trying to trade my Analog Four for a Max/MSP set up. What I need to know is what is the best system requirements for Max/MSP. As far as RAM and OS version requirement, no problem. I can figure that out.. What I am worried about is the Multicore processor requirement. Not all CPU's do the job they say they do. For example, my multicore had have issues running it when I tried the demo a while back.

So question: what are some of the better types of CPU's I need to use so I don't run into problems once I get a computer and ready to install Max/MSP. Just a few examples of some different types of CPU's will be fine and it will help me out so much in determine what type of computer to buy. Thanks in advance.

In ridiculously simple terms, just get the most powerful you can afford, or need. As far as your multicore issues - can you elaborate? To the best of my knowledge max is pretty adaptable and i havent heard talk of it generating issues on certain sorts of processors...

So I shouldn't have issues at all if I got a 6th Gen Intel® Core™ i5 processor? If so, I'm good as I can afford that. :)

Sorry about that misinformation, that was a dual processor and crappy one at that so I'll edit my post. Thanks for the reply.

Has anyone installed macOS Sierra. I am attempting to ascertain whether or not Max7 is compatable with the new Sierra. Anyone have any insight?
