I'm buying a DUal 2ghz G5 pretty soon here and so far I prices out 2gigs of ram for it. Any experience with this? Will it be enough?

Hi,

I am running a G5 dual 2.0 with 2.5 gigs of ram. It is rocking! I am running Pro Tools HD 3 Accel. I use OWC firewire drives.

I hear there is going to be a release of "new" more powerful G5s in the next 3 weeks. If you can hold out, I would. You may save some money. Good Luck, if you have any specific questions, feel free...-Kris

Thanks for the heads up! I may wait and see what unfolds in a few weeks!

I read somewhere that 4GB was the sweet spot, but the tests used were mainly Photoshop filters and Final Cut renders. I've got 2.5GB in my G5 Dual 2ghz with PT HD3 Accel and it seems to be more than enough. 2 180GB OWC Firewire 800 drives are used for video, 2 internal SATA 250GB for audio. Works like a champ!
