Any difference between 3GB and 4GB of RAM?
Hi!
I'm running PT 8 on a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and currently have 3GB of RAM. I haven¡t really had big problems, just every once in a while some errors about plugins. How much difference could I expect if I max out the ram to 4GB? Thanks to all for your opinions! |

Depending on the mobo architecture, sometimes having RAM in matched pairs (2x1GB, 2x2GB, etc.) allows RAM accesses to be interleaved resulting in a performance boost. This is true of the older Mac Pros, and the newer ones actually favor triplicates i.e. 3x2GB etc.
