Original Message 1/7 08-Jan-04 @ 08:10 PM - how much ram?
i'm trying to use softsynths / samplers and rebirth. maybe even reason.
how much ram should i allocate to my cubase program? right now i have 360 mb.allocated.
i have 1.25 gb ram total.
is there such a thing as allocating too much ram to a program even if it's available?
should i buy more?

i doubt old G4 400 can run many vsti's as it is. how about a 2nd hand 800 G4 or dual 800 even?

Agin, maybe cubase would act completely different, and bearing in mind this is PT 5.2 on G4 400 (os9.2) not the newer 6 version so the ideals may have moved up but id say for best results take steinbergs reccomendation and add 40-50% or so.
i.e if the say allocate 300 then try 400-450 mebbe?
let me know how you go with that one
