Hi Louis and congrats on your new Beast
I quote:

RAM:

We can choose between Kingston value (KVR) and Kingston branded (KTA).
Branded is pricier. Is it worth the money ?

I will be testing the KVR today on my 2.5G G5, so I can keep you 
posted. Apparently, it
is simply a question of the degree of testing...my RAM guru says it 
should be up-to-spec.
There are incidents of it not being good enough, however.

Btw, the mac comes with 512Mb, we are puting 2 extra gig (4 x 512 Mb) . 
Is
that enough for Logic and exs running vienna library ?

If you need to work off a template containing all articulations of all 
instruments, then no.
You need to wait for Logic 7 which will allow the program to see more 
than X megs
(to get that exact number, check out the forums at 
vsl.co.at...long-running discussion).
I am planning to spend yet more to get at least 2pairs of 1G sticks, 
they are way expensive,
but I want those extra slots ready to bring me to 6 or 8 Gigs for VSL.
If you are OK with loading sounds as needed while you work, then 2-4 
should be fine.
The paging is actuallly fast enough on these systems to be usable, 
unlike the G4s.

Louis
