What is the latest. most recent year and model of Mac Pro which will still run Leopard, 10.5.8? I'm upgrading to a used Mac Pro from my Powermac Quad and I want to still be able to work on projects in FCP6 which won't run on anything above Leopard..
Power Mac G5 Quad 2.5 ghz and Power mac 1.8 ghz Dual, Mac OS X (10.4.8)
That would be the Mac Pro 4,1 model released in 2009. I would add that if you are buying one, that model is superior to the previous 2008 model and allows much larger and cheaper memories.
