So 4 gig ram is the limit Pt10 can use?
If so then it seems there is no benifit in upgrading RAM at least as far as protools.
I guess I would be better off saving my money to buy a faster computer in the future.
Especially If I plan to upgrade to PT12
It seems these Duo core minis are about as obsolete as my 003’s.

There are some ways to make use of additional RAM for plugins but not for the core Protools application. You are correct to assume it makes the most sense to save your money for a more up-to-date computer, processor wise. Protools has always been demanding on computer resources so don't skimp there. A good quad core i7 makes Protools hum nicely.
