EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Can't say this is official, but as far as my experience go, and this 
may sound obvious, any system benefits from more RAM. 
The not so obvious part being that Logic not especially gains 
power by actually assigning it more RAM. The more you can 
leave working in the background, the better I think.
(Logic will go bzerk and drop total audio capacity when it's forced 
to look into more than 1 Gig of free Ram, at least on my machine.
Before I had my current system Logic worked much more stable 
when it was assigned only about 60 Mb. These days I run 1536 
Mb RAM, so I'm forced to give Logic at least 501 Mb).

To cut it short, the more RAM Logic is able to assign to the EXS, 
the smoother your system will run.
Best,
O.
