Hahahahah!

I bought Kinston DDR ram 512MB for £40 the other day and only 512 becuase I was running tests on my pc.
(Really I should of gone for atleast a 1gig stick)

Nowadays I'd say 512 is the bare minimum in any pc weather your using it as a DAW or simply playing games on it.

Your running PROTOOLS not Solitaire! some of us have Waves plugins and more than a handful are open at one given time could you even think of doing that on 384MB...erm no

Hahahahahahah....................

NO, I built my system what 4 years ago??? I can run Sonar, and Cubase, and the Waves plugins, no problem. And I've only got 256Mb...

I don't have a problem putting more memory in there & I'm not trying to make this a "this app is better than that app" thread. It just seems PT is doing something different with memory, and I'm wondering what it might be.

Man how big are your sessions in sonar and cubase...? you say no problem like you have 40 plus tracks open with plugins... I just find it hard to believe that you can run a DAW on 256MB...I mean you can but what sort of performance are you getting???

Default Re: Memory

The operating system itself requires 128MB (Windows XP Requirements), sometimes more if you are running several services.

Sonar's minimum requirements are only 128MB, yes, but they recommend 512MB (and so do I, as a long time Sonar user also).
(Sonar Requirements page)

The minimum requirement for Cubase is 384MB (Cubase Requirements page)

While you might be able to run these programs on a lesser machine (especially if your software is 4 years old as well) I would challenge you to get any kind of serious performance from them: 32+ tracks of audio, with real time plugins on each track, 8 MIDI tracks going to 8 different softsynths, without bogging that machine to a halt.

Protools is not like cubase. you can run cubase sx2 on a 5 year old notebook using the onboard sound if you like. cubase is really flexible regarding systems. the DAE is a LITTLE more coplex. But hey -you can hear the difference.
