Greetings ALL

I have Pro Tools 7, 1 gb of ram on my Pentium IV which has a speed of 2.5ghz. Pro Tools crashes a lot even though I do not use plug-ins (recording Midi from my controller causes Pro Tools to crash often).

I am planning to use more have multiple plug-ins running in Pro Tools at the same time. If I get a top of the line motherboard and max out the Ram, will I be able to run at least 4 memory hogging plug-ins at once?

thanks for the help

1GB should be enough....give us your full specs of your computer and what LE system you're running.
 
i had the same problem a while ago and switched to sonar.

i now realize the problem and it was i desperately needed to reformat my hard drive, which i had not done in over a year

if you have not reformatted in the last 6 months, that will greatly improve your processor speed.
 
Also restart your machine fresh before each session. In my experience, Pro Tools doesn't run well on PC's that are never shut down.

You might want to be sure you know WHY Pro Tools crashes before sinking more cash into it. What if the new MOBO doesn't fix it?

Take care,
Chris
