You're probably right. It appears to me that the info is outdated and that LP7.2 also works with newer PT versions as long as it's a PowerPC based system. I only changed recently to Tiger/LP7.2/PT7.3 (two weeks ago) and am still finishing some projects booting up in Panther/PT6.9/LP7 half of the time (from a different drive..) so I don't have much run-time with LP7.2/PT7.3 but it does work. What's more, I only upgraded after I heard from another user on this list that the combination was working for him. > > That one parenthetical remark about non-compatibility was not added > until December 2006 after many complaints on many forums.

And it's not just the Intel compatiblity - there's a whole range of issues with TDM compatibility that they've left hanging in the air for a couple of years now. It's the non-information that's bugging me the most - I could probably live with changing to either PT, Logic native or an entirely different platform if I really had to - as long as I knew the investement in time and money would be worthwhile. It is very hard to make decisions on investments in Logic Pro, new Macs and TDM hardware with so little information.
