is virtual system memory useable on a Macbook Pro?

2006-05-17 by Jeff Fisher

thinking of moving from a Powerbook G4 1.67 up to a Macintel Laptop  
to run a huge live kit in logic. The new books still have a
2Gig Ram limit...my present live template exceeds that and memory  
paging begins. On the G4 this means audio glitching as OSX
moves data to and from the system disk. I was wondering if the Intel  
boxes with their much faster buses can thus run memory-hogging
setups without interrupting the flow of audio (a dual G5 with only  
512 Megs of RAM was able to do this)...Not looking for  simultaneous  
playback of many tracks, just the ability to load way way beyond the  
RAM ceiling with VSL and plugs in a live situation..with no audio
stuttering
anybody care to test this out
