Hi,

We are currently using Cisco PIX version 6.3(5), with 128mb memory.

I'm trying to figure out if it is usefull to upgrade to 7.12. But I can
not find the main difference between the versions. Are there security
issues solved in 7.x? Or is it mainly more / better functions.

Thanks!

Both.

You should read the release notes and the 6 -> upgrade guide.
