Wow, how can you people do anything with 512 or less?
I've got 2 GB on my DAW and 1 GB on a slave machine, and it's still not enough! |

Less background application. Don't install many small programs. All together can take up alot of memory. I'm fine with my 512 MB though an extra could help :D |

Hahaha, well I guess if you're on a budget then the little things will be important. But when I load up some of my tracks, Cubase alone can take up 2-3 gigs! Part of that is definitely samples... when you load up a 2.5 gig sample then even with disk streaming enabled it is going to eat memory.
I did my first productions in FL with 512 MB of RAM, and it drove me up the wall so much that I ended up getting a brand new computer!
Respect to you guys for being able to make do with so little (ronk: yikes! How many VSTs can you have open with that?)... I just couldn't hack it. At the time it felt like the only thing limiting me from being a really "good" producer (although, since then I've learned that there were many other things limiting me :stongue: ) |

in my current project I have something like 30-40 wav samples, 6 vsts, 2 fl generators and 3 soundfonts. not much, but hey, I can produce sound with it :D
and I'm planning to buy a new computer at last..a brand new Athlon 64 X2 4400+ on a DFI LanParty nF4 SLI-DR with 1GB OCZ DualChannel Platinum Rev2, an Audiophile 2496, an ATI AIW X600pro 256MB PCI-E (not sure about this gfx yet) and a Western Digital 250GB HD SATA2 KS.
ahhhhh..........what an upgrade it'll be...:toothless |

That's what i'm thinking too!
2 z3tas eat up a lot on 512!
edit:
is 2 gigs of ram, and a AMD64 3300+ good enough? |

Haha, I have 192MB. About time to upgrade :p
Although with not too much crap on my computer it appears to work just fine when running FL Studio 5 for me (except having more than 3 instances of z3ta+ running, which totally crashes it). Got tweaking utilities that helps too, lol.
I have to wait for my student loan :/ |

Good enough for what? It can run more than two instances of z3ta+, but the answer to your question is going to be relative to your production workflow. |

Thing is I want to run more than two instances of z3ta maybe 6-10 depending on the song. Also I adding effects like compresion, eq and such to my other instruments. Is there a more efficient way other than running 6 or so at a time, like saving some as .wavs? Is that a good idea? |
