MOTU Press release from NAMM

You do not need to remove the screen unless replacing the NV RAM battery on the 2009–2010 (and only those years).

Understood, but it seemed to me that if one is going to the trouble of taking a 7 year old iMac apart, it's probably a good time to change the battery.

Looks like I'll be needing a new computer soon because I just can't resist all of the great enhancements introduced since DP 7.24.

I came to the opposite conclusion. With latency reduction and pre-gen enhancements, I expect to be able to keep my ancient iMac a little longer.

Mine's not so ancient but DP9 already had, at least for me, more efficiency to run a lower buffer than I could for the same size project/session than I could in PT11.3.1 For example PT pretty much required 1024 and the same size piece of music I can run at 256 in DP9.01. I actually can run at 128 but 256 is more comfortable for the machine.

From the MOTU PDF...
buffer set to an ultra-low 64 samples

at only 30% CPU?!?!?

...can't wait to get me some of that

They may have to pry my upgraded 2009 from my cold, dead hands.

What you said.

I understand that. I was just talking about my personal situation. I will not change my current system because it works very well for me.

Ultimately, I'd like a brand new system while keeping the old one until I decide I no longer need the old one.
