Hey Gang! Anyone know the best version of AM to run on Mac OS 10.6?

v15j+ No other versions are supported!

well, I believe any of the V15's will run on Snow Leopard, at least I know V15i could and I think the one before that too.

I meant supported by Hash as opposed to Snow Leopard.

My personal advise is not to use the Mac version of AM. I am A mac guy. I own an 8core mac and 2 mac pros. But after doing render tests with AM on the mac version I quickly realized that it is not a viable option. It can take 3 times longer or more to render the same project on the mac version of AM. Plus the Mac version of AM has a ton of bugs so does the PC version but the lessor of two evils is the PC version.

My Solution: Using boot camp install windows xp or 7 on your mac so that you can dual boot. Use Am only when booted in windows. Do not use Am on the Mac via parallels or something like that.

Although this is my opninion its based on facts: below are the bench test results apples to apples on the same system only difference is the operating system and the AM Version.

Yes - I do that to (bootcamp). I have an equal number of PC's and Mac's. I adore my Mac's but alas have to agree that my experience with AM is more satisfying in Windows.
