still, all those tweaks that made a difference 4 years ago, they really don't do much now anymore.

I always thought of CPU limitations something that was an issue for people 3 years ago. I think the biggest limitation right now, perhaps more so for people that use large sample librairies , is ram and i suppose hardrive speed. 64 bit OS is starting to become a reality so things are better in the last few months but it is still in an area of transition.

IN GPO, the Steinway Piano Duo alone uses 386Mb of RAM :P

Ive never ran out of RAM. My issues are either CPU [music/visual art] or Graphics Card [games]

Yeah definitely, if there is something i do run out of occasionally it`s RAM.

My default project setup runs about 16 gigs of ram.
Combination of VSL ensemble
Symphonia
EW orchestra ....

takes a few minutes to load.


obviously not related to trance production but just to give you an idea.

You don't have 16 GB of RAM. Show me such a system please.

Not sure why anyone would lie about such a thing.

The 8 core Mac Pro's can use 32.

You must have a really good motherboard, pherhaps with DDR3 or a MAC ?

In 50 Years we still won't *need* 32 GB ram. Do you have a solid state drive and are calling it ram?

made an edit above

yes it is the later generation 8 core mac pro.
The ram was not that expensive. About 700$ for 16 gigs.

700$ and I can build a PC that will last for the next 8 years, without needing to upgrade.

I don't know what to tell you. The Vienna Librairie is 400 gigs. The EW is about 300. It is not uncommon to have 20 gigs on a heavy project.
