PT9 CPU and system errors

[nozzles]

I've been working with Pro Tools since 'version 5' and I've manage to establish some pretty stable machines. I'm currently using a Macbook pro unibody 2.4 GHz with 2GB RAM ... is this not enough? I receive the errors even after I start up using a 'low CPU' template (before adding anything - just playing the xpander plug). It will 'crash' 4-5 times (hit okay, restart, etc.) before playing for a bit. Do I need to add 2-4 GB of RAM in order to work? I'm curious if anyone has it running well on the macbook pro unibody.

Thanks all

quick reply request: when looking at the compatibility grid for PT9: Bomb factory plugs are only compatible UP TO PT 8??? Thus, DO NOT USE in PT9?

I appreciate your clarification!

Thx

Now usually these things don't work. I followed a posted link to optimizing mac systems for pro tools 9 and now it seems to work much better. Key things I did was a fresh install on a newly created account JUST for Pro tools (and other audio bits). I'm not getting the crash, or hang ups on the same songs that were doing it previously.

Thanks guys!
