Mac Pro 2.8 and 4 GB RAM- do I need more?

[goga]

So, I have an Mac Pro 2.8 and 4 GB RAM- and I wonder if I need more, since everything is today on 4 gb standard.

Since upgraded to PT 9, the only crash I have is with a message warning me about memory.

Do I need more RAM memory? Will 2, 4 or 8 extra make any differance?
Will the performance of my sessions be better, in the sense that it will handle more plugins and so on?


Thank you.

Last year, I would have told you of the 2 Digi trainers that both told me that 4bg of RAM was the ideal amount. Now, given PT9 and my own experience(granted that its on a PC) I would think about doubling the RAM. While PT9 is still a 32 bit program, I did notice an improvement when I switched to a 64 bit OS(my machine was built with 6 gb or RAM from day one). Just get the fastest RAM your computer can handle(and make sure ALL RAM sticks run at the same speed).

Thanky you Albee!

Anybody who knows where do I find info about what is the fastest RAM my computer and at what speed my RAM is working?
