Default What gives with system resources?

Ok - I have 2 tdm systems which may bias me - but I purchased an 002 Rack for home to do some basic scoring and minor mixing and the system really has a hard time with the following example:

I am running a dual 2.6 xeon Universal Mac with 1 gig of ram.
Pro tools 7.3.1 LE
002 R

1 stereo track with Stylus RMX
1 stereo track with Kontact
1 stero track with ReWire to Live
a couple of audio tracks
a few instances of Massey Compressor
An Aux with Digi Reverb
An Aux with Digi long delay.

I get lots of buffer warnings. Is this to be expected? What can I do? More ram?

Thanks!

Are you projects on an external Firewire HD or secondary internal HD?

Cheers

Could the two VI´s be to much memory hogs?

Yes. More RAM. At least 2 GB.

Guaranteed RAM from Apple is expensive.

Shop around for the best price but get return privileges if it doesn't work.
