SX3 and iMac Intel Core compatibility

Cubase
1

Dear All,
I’m using SX3 with Windows before, and recently, I switch to my new iMac, which is 3.2 GHz Intel Core i3 with OS X 10.6.6. Somehow, it crash every time when I open the software. Is there any compatibility problem?
Please help.
Thanks.

sx3 is not compatible with any intel machines you would have to be running a ppc emulation program which is not going to perform well. you need cubase 4 or later depending on your os. if you are on snow leopard c4 is not officially supported however i have seen user posts saying they have had success on SL …YMMV

thanks a lot, phidelity.
I do on Snow Leopard, so it seems i need at least Cubase 5. Am I correct?
Thanks.

By the way, it seems Cubase doesn’t offer any upgrade from SX3.
Thanks.
