Can I even run Pro Tools 11?

Ok, I'll provide my Sandra Report in a sec. I'm thinking of moving on to Pro Tools 11. 90% of the plugins I use are in AAX 64, with the other 10% soon (that's really subjective) on their way.



What my Sandra report will not show, is I am actually running Pro Tools 10.3.9, through an Mbox Pro (3rd Gen) to a Texas Instrument Chipset Firewire 800. So here is my system report:

Can I do it????



Part of my reason for asking is, a Pro Audio tech at Guitar Center wasn't sure if Pro Tools 11 would run or be compatible with an Intel Core 2 Duo. And I can't find anything, anywhere online in any Pro Tools 11 specs, that specify the CPU requirements..



Thanks!
