What is the highest iOS I can use with my 2.86 ghz dual core intel xeon

I was wondering what is the highest or last iOS version I can use with my 2.86 ghz dual core intel xeon mac pro built in 2007?


I'm pretty sure it's a 64-bit


Will Ios 10.8 run on it?


Plesae advise


Thanks

IOS is for iPads and iPhones.


Your profile shows your are running 10.7 - true?


Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.


To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.


  • iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
  • MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
  • MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
  • MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
  • Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
  • Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
  • Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher


Your Mac needs:

  • OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
  • 2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
  • 8 GB or more of available space


If your computer isn’t compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion.

Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.

This system can run the last version of OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" as well as the current version of OS X 10.9 "Mavericks," although it does not support AirDrop, AirPlay Mirroring, or Power Nap. It also does not support "OpenCL" running the default ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT video card. If configured with the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT or NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600, it does support OpenCL.


Grain of salt but a fair price.
