7.  I was able to convert all mine (same situation) using 7, but not 8.

Express has most of the same functionality as pro, so you might get  
by with that.  I did some that way.  Any plugin that is not included  
in express would lose its settings.  For example, I had used the  
EXSP24 for a while, and none of that transferred over to EXS24, even  
though it can use the same instrument files.

I don't remember exactly, but I definitley had some version of 7  
working on Intel.  I just tried to find 7 to test it out, but  
apparently I deleted it.  Funny, I still have 5.5.1 in my apps folder  
though.  Not sure why.  I tried launching, but it didn't like my  
XSKey.  Were we still using the serial boxes back then?!

Strike that.  I just found 7.1.1 on my audio drive, so I know that  
ver. works on intel.   I also launched express 7.2, and reallized it  
doesn't have any of the plugs you mention, so all that would be lost.

Good luck.
