understood. Just wondering why a dual G5 1.8 with only 512M Ram (it  
was a store loaner) was able to run tons of EXS with so little  
RAM...and no audio glitching. OSX was obviously in a low RAM  
situation....
anyways it sounds futile...just have to wait for higher RAM capacity  
in future macbooks...sigh...
