- Mac Pro "Harpertown" - 2x 3Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon - 12gb RAM-
I bought my Mac Pro used and didn't get install discs with it. It's possible my friend has them somewhere as it was a work computer of his. But in case he doesn't/can't find them (which I seriously think might happen since I had to borrow his iMac disc in order to purge his name from my system) I was going to buy some sort of version of OS X.
So is Lion going to be a complete install version and can I just buy that for my "Harpertown" Mac Pro? Or do I need to buy Leopard and Snow Leopard?
And if I can just buy Lion then why all the fuss about "getting your Mac ready to upgrade to Lion" with the 10.6.8 update?
I'm currently running 10.6.7 on the following system (waiting to upgrade to 10.6.8 until I finish a big FCP project):
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro3,1
Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 3 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 8
L2 Cache (per processor): 12 MB
Memory: 4 GB (soon to be 12gb, 8gb have been ordered)
Bus Speed: 1.6 GHz
TIA for any help.
