Hey,
I am upgrading the system memory of my DAW, and I am trying to decide exactly how much memory I should buy. I know that the more the better, but I am on a budget.
At the moment I have 512MB of DDR-RAM in a PC, and I will be running ProTools LE through an Mbox2 (USB1.1). I will also be using MOTU's Symphonic Instrument Virtual Instrument as a Plug-in.
I have a Pent IV 2.4gHz CPU. I was wondering what is more important to keeping my system running smoothly, more memory, or simply a faster CPU?
I used to run Logic Audio on a Pent III 933mHz machine and the reverb plug-in always overloaded the system after three or four instances. It was very frustrating. Do plug-ins like reverb and the MOTU Symph. Inst. VI feed off of memory or CPU more?
Thanks,
Michael
