More RAM bether performance?
Hi, I have a G5 2x2,3 GHz machine with 1,5 GB RAM
I´m considering to buy another 2 GB of RAM so there will be a total of 3,5 GB RAM
Will there be a noticable gain of performance in Ableton Live and VST/AU plugins, or is it a waist of money?

I wouldn't flat out say it will be better, even on a Mac. If you're not NEEDING that much RAM ever, having it will do very little. Nice to have it in reserve of course, but if you're only using 1GB of RAM now, adding 2more GB isn't going suddenly make things feel faster. Again, not bad to have, just don't expect miracles unless you actually need to start using that new RAM.

logically a faster cpu would do the trick !!mariusmellebye wrote:I know I could need some more speed when using plugins like Reaktor, Absynth, EWQL Symphonic Orchestra and stuff like that... the CPU often goes over 70 - 80% and was hoping that more RAM would be the solution?
More Ram if you want to use huge amounts of samples that arent disc streamed
