Are you finding 2gig ain't enough? Is this why you want more?

1.5

DP MD G4 1.25

You're actually using more than 2 gigs? ...2 is the standard for my boxes around here

If you're on PC, more than 3 gig could be a waste. Seems MicroSoft, in their ultimate wisdom, decided that no one would use more than 2 gig

I have 6 gig at work, and it crashes at 3 gig usage.

My audio comp only has a gig. Doesn't need more unless I go nuts with SoftSynth.
ProTools LE want a clear data pipeline. AMD Athlon 64 seems to do the job best there.

1 gig here and never any memory usage problems. my hard drives rarely spin when working with 12-20 tracks.

con?one · 7th March 2006, 09:38 PM

i've had 80+ tracks with plugins, etc... with 2gb on my PC in Nuendo with NO problem.

I was running my g5 1.6 with 256mb for 7 months before I ever needed more. I'm at a gig now, and I can't see needing more.
