i7 ....barely using processor
when im in pro tools i notice when using bd or other audiosuite plugins that it barely even taps any of the processors for stuff. Is this a RAM thing with windows maxing out at 3GB?

Re: i7 ....barely using processor
Here's my "issue." I'm real pleased with it, but I guess I'm concerned that I'n underutilizing it somehow. I wouldnt want to walk away from processing power. It would seem that if all the cores are barely hitting 5 to 10%, unused processing power is being wasted. If the thing could run large sessions in BD or other audiosuite conversions faster, i'd certainly want it too.
Maybe I should look into faster ram, that is, until W7 comes out?

 you're losin' me with your logic??? if your rig is only usin' only 5-10% then that's all your sessions are requirin' right now, right? ram speed does NOT seem to be an issue with your setup. as long as you have the /3GB switch enabled then that's all you can do for the load you are puttin' on your rig. throw 100 trax sessions up there...it'll make you feel better
