![]() Just wondering if anyone has any advice on if I should just stick with 10.6.8 (and if so, any tips on how to make the system as lean and stable as possible), or should I upgrade to 10.7.5 and tweak that system as much as possible, or should try to install the OS X server (and if so, where can I get an older version), or should I dive in the deep end and try to hack the thing to run Sierra? One issue that has led me to this question is that the latest version of Plex requires 10.9 or higher. ![]() According to MacTracker the maximum OS for this machine is 10.7.5 - although I've read that it's possible to install newer OSes on older Macs with a little monkeying around.
