Thoughts from the mind of Darcy Phillips, 08-12-2002: >I used EXS for the first time on a gig this weekend, and the sound I was >using was a 500 meg Rhodes sample. But on my Tibook with 256 meg of ram, I >figure the exs only had about 40 meg to work with, and, somewhat to my >amazement, it just sat there and quietly streamed the whole sound flawlessly >all night long! Sounded fantastic. > >However, I think it's working close to full capacity, because every time I >change anything it takes a long time to redraw the icons on the desktop >behind.

Having the system so maxed out that the Finder doesn't even have enough memory left to redraw the desktop is potentially dangerous. And, at the very least, it's annoying. With ram-prices being what they are, you should simply get as much as possible. -- Hendrik Jan Veenstra <h@...> *** NEW LOCATION *** Omega Art: http://www.omega-art.com
